Russia reportedly attempted drone strikes in Germany, specifically targeting Leipzig, prompting a swift response from Finnish leaders. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo immediately contacted German Chancellor Friedrich Merz following the incident. President Alexander Stubb affirmed Finland's support for Germany as it responds to what is being characterized as a Russian hybrid attack. Stubb stated on X (formerly Twitter) that Finland understands Russia’s tactics, which aim to intimidate and undermine resolve to support Ukraine. He emphasized Russia’s intention to weaken the determination to aid Ukraine in its defense. However, Stubb firmly declared that Russia's efforts to instill fear will fail, signaling continued solidarity with Germany and Ukraine.
