Russia will take decades to improve the situation

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said during a visit to Kyiv on Thursday that Russia would take decades to improve its position in the world after invading Ukraine. Marin described the Russo-Ukraine war as a "turning point" for Europe. Marin went on to say that Russia has also lost trust for generations to come.

He also met President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Speaker of the Parliament of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk. "The EU must be united, courageous, and resolute in the face of Russia's aggression," it said in a statement after the meeting.

Ukraine should be given some ground to stop fighting

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told the World Economic Forum that Ukraine should be given some ground to stop the war, because the more war progresses, the more it will get trapped. Responding in strong words, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said that Ukraine is not going to give up its land because of whatever Russia has to do.

Zelensky recalled from the Appeals Agreement of 1938 that Britain had allowed Hitler to rise into the ground to avoid war, which was considered a very weak decision.

Kissinger said that Ukraine should talk to Russia because, at a time when tensions increase too much, it will not be possible. This will weaken Ukraine itself. Considering its interest, Ukraine should be given some land.

The world will be ruled by brute force

In his speech at the 'History at a Turning Point' summit, President Vladimir Zelensky said that if the world did not respond to Russia, then once again the world would be ruled by brutal power. If Russia won the war, this summit would be useless.
