Stubb advocates April 20 ceasefire deadline with Trump

Finland's President Alexander Stubb has emphasized the need for a deadline to secure a ceasefire in Ukraine during his recent discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump. Stubb proposed April 20 as an appropriate date for the ceasefire, coinciding with Easter, highlighting that setting a deadline is crucial for moving forward. Their meeting in Florida, which included discussions on strengthening bilateral relations and a round of golf, was part of ongoing diplomatic efforts following Ukrainian President Zelensky's visit to Finland. Stubb noted Trump's increasing impatience with Russia's actions and hinted at 'far-reaching' plans if the country does not agree to a ceasefire. Additionally, Trump has threatened to impose significant tariffs on Russian oil if the conflict continues. Lithuanian intelligence reports suggest that Russia could maintain its war efforts in Ukraine for at least two more years, supported by high oil prices and assistance from allies.
