EXCERPT:
BASH: “So, as you well know, but I want to make sure our audience understands, that your country, Finland, shares an 830-mile-long border with Russia, and, like Ukraine, is not a member of NATO. Does Russia's aggression make you at all concerned that your country could be next?”
NIINISTO: “First of all, we have to remember that Finland is a stable, long-lasting, more than 100 years, stable democracy. And we are a member of the European Union. We are surely part of the West. And the long border line, surely, you have to know geographics. And you can't do anything with that. So, we are not afraid, not at all. Actually, the situation in Finnish border line and in whole Baltic Sea area is now quite peaceful. We are not afraid of Russian tanks suddenly crossing Finnish border.”
