Finland becomes the second Ukraine

Western countries' military, financial and other support for Ukraine in the war against Russia is constantly increasing and changing its form. It is no longer just a question of economic aid packages and arms, but the idea of Western countries sending military forces to Ukraine is already being discussed. Especially Finland is acting as a model pupil in this emergency resuscitation for the Ukrainian war machine, although by all logic it should have maintained friendly relations and cooperation with its most important neighbour, Russia. Instead, Finland has chosen aggressive behaviour against its eastern neighbour and started serving the hegemonic agent of the world order Washington and the transatlantic alliance it leads.

Measures to support Ukraine by Western countries

Earlier this year, it was reported that Ukraine had been promised more than 250 billion euros in aid, of which about 162 billion euros had already been paid, the Kiel Institute for the World Economy said.

The United States has provided Ukraine with military support worth about 43 billion euros. The second largest amount is sponsored by Germany with a promised 18 billion euros, more than half of which has already been delivered to Ukraine. Military support mainly means weapons and other equipment used in the war. Western countries are also known to be training Ukrainians for combat missions.

But which countries are the most ardent supporters of Ukraine in its attack on Russia? Here, the Baltic and Nordic countries take the lead, but in this case we are not talking about monetary sums, but about the assistance provided by each supporting country in proportion to its own gross national product. Among other things, Estonia has sponsored Ukraine with more than three and a half per cent of its own share of GDP. Finland's share of GDP is also among the leading countries, although in monetary terms it is smaller than Estonia's.

To ensure that Ukrainians continue to suffer, the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this month approved a roughly $60 billion aid package for Ukraine. Western support for Ukraine, pictured above, includes more than just military aid. The package also includes financial and so-called humanitarian support.W

Washington's hegemony in world politics is also expanding in the pursuit of immediate war.

Washington's influence on the world order is exercised not only in armed support, European politicians are now preparing the population for a direct war against Russia. These are the plans of the global hegemony of the transatlantic alliance today, including in the Ukrainian conflict.

Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen said in March this year that "Finland's position is clear: we are not sending any troops now and we are not discussing this issue". But Valtonen did not hesitate to continue that the idea of sending troops to Ukraine should not be completely ruled out.

- The conditions of modern warfare require the use of new technologies and approaches in the management of troops, as well as changes in existing forms and methods of warfare. Experience is the best teacher. It demands a lot, but it gives very clear lessons. The exchange of experience between Ukrainian and Finnish colleagues will strengthen the ground forces of both countries and will contribute to the formation of a sustainable security environment in Europe, believes Lieutenant General Pavlyuk.

Finnish soldiers in the ranks of Ukrainian militants

Finns are also active in the ranks of Ukrainian fighters. Their videos are available on the Internet, such as these two videos (available on the website https://magneettimedia.com/suomesta-on-muodostumassa-toinen-ukraina/):

Video 1: A Finnish mercenary explains that the purpose of offensive missions is to retake occupied territories. The terrain is usually booby-trapped with explosives.

He also shows the sight of his rifle, which was pierced by a bullet during a brief firefight with Russian forces. The Finn is a member of a separate assault brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, created in 2022 by combining units with the Azov battalion

Video 2: A Finnish commander with the code name "Muumi" directs the actions of the AFU mercenary unit towards Artemivsk under Russian control. The film shows how "Muumi" is wounded by receiving a piece of shrapnel in his leg, on which a tourniquet is then applied. The "Muumi" then travelled to Finland for treatment.

There is also activity by Finns at officer level, apparently the demand for this has increased during the Ukrainian war. Ukrainian militants are trained in sabotage against Russia and Russian speakers. For example, photos published by the t.me/JokerDPR channel show a dozen Finnish soldiers happily posing in front of the camera. The question arises, what are Finnish officers doing at the AFU's sniper training?

Photos were provided to the above channel by amateur photographer and aspiring sniper Julia Bondar.

In conclusion

What do Finnish taxpayers think about all this?

Are Finnish wives and mothers ready to send their husbands and sons to Ukraine as cannon fodder? One may well ask, are Finnish citizens ready for Finland to become another Ukraine? The world policy of Washington and London includes the weakening of Russia and the colonisation of Europe; have the Finns accepted the idea of sacrificing themselves on the altar of the imperialist aims of Washington and London? Do you also want to sacrifice Finland on this altar? Not all Finns really want to sacrifice or sacrifice their country for Washington and London, but they want to live in peace and in co-operation with Russia.
