This is what Leadership looks like. More European leaders need to speak this clearly.
- Alexander Stubb:
" I think we need to make clear to the Russians and everyone else that there are a few things that are completely off the table in these negotiations.
One is EU membership. It is not Russia who decides on EU membership. It is the European Union who does that.
Two is NATO. It is not Russia that decides on NATO membership. It is the Alliance itself.
Three is Ukrainian defence. It is not Russia that decides on what Ukraine has by its border, when, where, and how.
And four: European security arrangements ... or order. It’s not Russia that decides on that. We already have a European security order and should stick to it."
