Henri Vanhanen wrote that Europe should take a greater role in defining the peace terms for Ukraine. According to him, Donald Trump tried to entice Vladimir Putin to peace with concessions, even though Russia continued the war and new flexibilities were expected from Ukraine. Vanhanen pointed out that Europe spent tens of billions of euros to defend Ukraine but largely let Washington direct the negotiations. Vanhanen demanded Germany resolve the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine and for other countries to strengthen Ukraine’s long-range strike capability. He also suggested that Europe should find a way to more broadly utilize Russia’s frozen state assets of about 200 billion euros, increase pressure on Russia’s oil revenues, and boost military support for Ukraine if the war of aggression continued. He argued that Europe should ensure that Trump’s diplomacy is not based solely on offering new concessions to Russia. https://t.co/pilGKhN9F1 #Eurooppa #Ukraina #Trump (translated)

Fibonazzo wrote that his early investment decision made with a large amount was a mistake. According to him, Friday's trading and the closing price indicated that no buyers had still been found and the decline could continue. He estimated that the next week would show the direction. Fibonazzo stated that the return accumulated since the beginning of the year was still 362 percent and had occurred in the same way as recent returns. He said he was contemplating how to proceed and mentioned considering a more defensive strategy after giving up EQR, but had abandoned that idea at the time. He stressed that his writings were not intended as investment recommendations. If the market were moving into a broader bear market, Fibonazzo said he would likely sell everything and take a break from investing. He described the past year as intense overall. #Fibonazzo #sijoittaminen #markkinat #talous (translated)

Elina Hiltunen wrote that the Finns Party should justify its immigration concerns more clearly and calmly, and rely on facts. According to her, many Finns perceived the party's anti-immigration stance as racism, even though, in her opinion, the party should communicate that it defends the whole of Finland instead of immigrants. Hiltunen argued that a free and equal Finnish society would cease to exist if immigration, particularly from Muslim countries, continued as it is. Hiltunen estimated that the party's swearing, provocation, and the communication style she described as “rude” might drive away educated supporters. She also urged so-called “hidden supporters,” especially members of the National Coalition Party, to either join the Finns Party or strive to change their own party's line. According to Hiltunen, the party should not only seek support from those who already agree with them but also help Finns understand the basis of their politics. #maahanmuutto #keskustelu #Suomi (translated)

Hannele Al-Hamzawi wrote that attempts to silence people or labeling them as racist and Islamophobic no longer made people quiet.
