The President of Finland is urging President Trump to impose a time limit on Vladimir Putin of April 20 to agree with a ceasefire in Ukraine.
Talking to Fox News in London after a weekend visit with Trump in Florida, Alexander Stub praised Trump’s attempts to interact, saying that Trump is “perhaps the only person in the world who can mediate peace.”
Dan Hoffman: Trump has tried ‘everything’ to ‘woo’ to come to the bargaining table of Russia.
But he argued that the conversation process of the ceasefire should not be open.
“We need a ceasefire, and we need a date for the ceasefire,” Stub said. “And that date should be of April 20.”

Three months after the inauguration of Trump will be marked on 20 April, and is also conservative.
“If President Putin – who is the only one who is not accepting a ceasefire, because Americans want it, Europeans want it, Ukrainian wants it – if he does not force the ceasefire, we should go for a huge set of sanctions coming from the United States and Europe,” Stubes said.
Trump has spoken of a “psychological time limit” to agree to a ceasefire for Russia, but refused to name a date.

Stub said that Putin “honored, and in many ways, Donald Trump.”
Finland – A neighbor of Russia, with a shared boundary, was running over 800 miles – two years ago in decades of neutrality when it joined NATO, was worried about the war in Ukraine.
Stub believes that Ukraine should also be allowed to be involved in “long -run” in the military alliance – a position that runs the counter for the Trump administration.

After a round of golf with Trip in talks and Florida, the Finnish leader said that European leaders are focusing on American complaints that Europe does not spend sufficient money on defense, relying instead of United States.
“Europe needs to take more responsibility for its safety, more responsibility for its protection,” Stub said. “I think we are doing this right.”

He described the US-European relationship as “an infection”, but insisted: “We are partners.
“Just because ideologically there are many differences between Europeans and Americans, this does not mean that we are going for separate or divorce.”
