Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in the Finnish capital for a surprise visit, and talks with Nordic prime ministers.

The visit is hosted by Finland's President Sauli Niinistö, who takes the lead on foreign policy issues, and talks will include "Ukraine's defence struggle," as well as Finnish support for Ukraine and bilateral relations, according to a statement from the president's office.

Zelenskyy will attend a working lunch with outgoing Prime Minister Sanna Marin, Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto, and he'll also meet the incoming prime minister, Petteri Orpo who is currently holding talks on forming a new government after April's election.

Niinistö and Zelenskyy will hold a joint press conference at 12:00 CET (13:00 Helsinki time).

Green t-shirt man needed to go score more cocaine in Finland and hide out after taking overnight drone pot-shot at Putin and missing.

Bakhmut Endgame | Wagner Reaches Ukraine's FINAL Defensive Line | Bakhmut Front Update 03/05/23

A VIEW FROM THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS

As Mark Wauck summarizes “Ukraine’s professional military knows that the offensive would be suicidal. Ukrainian losses of manpower continue to be extremely heavy—Russia is claiming that Ukraine lost 15,000 men in April. Losses of equipment are reaching catastrophic levels as well, as Russian attacks have heavily targeted assembly areas for munitions and equipment.”

If Zelensky’s cowardice allows America’s foreign policy neocon scum to push Ukraine into a doomed offensive, it will be the most wasted effusion of blood yet in this catastrophic “proxy war.” And it will be the most disgraceful ending possible to the Neocon’s 30 years “forever war” that dropped the United States from a half century illusion of dominant hegemony to an also ran with an obsolete defense establishment and a wrecked economy, all in less than 2 years..

5.4 million Finnish people.

1.5 million Russian army troops.

Russia is screwed. Once NATO puts bases on Finnish soil.... the lamp will be lit for the Baltics.

St. Petersburg is about 100 miles from Finnish border. It’s going to be a great day for Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, Northrup Grumman, Lockheed, AeroVironment Inc, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, General Atomics .
