LIVE: Finland Defends India on Buying Russian Oil Amid Ukraine War | Vantage with Palki Sharma |N18G

Finland has been a key NATO partner and an ally for Ukraine ever since the start of the war in 2022. It shares the longest border with Russia and has had a ringside view of the war. But what does Finland think about India's role in ending the Ukraine war? Firstpost Managing Editor Palki Sharma sat down with Finnish President Alexander Stubb for an exclusive interview in Helsinki. Asked about India’s potential as a mediator, President Stubb said, "Definitely, I am a great admirer of India. I think India will be our next superpower. You know, right up there with the United States and China." The Finnish President also defended India's right to buy Russian oil. His remarks follow the US decision to impose 25% punitive tariffs on Indian exports, despite China and Europe continuing energy trade with Russia. He said, "Without oil and gas exports, Russia will not be able to afford to conduct this war, but I am not going to blame India, I am going to blame all of us collectively. India is not the only one to blame here."
What else did the Finnish President say about the war in Ukraine? What are his thoughts on India emerging as a superpower? And, can Helsinki become the neutral ground for the next round of peace talks between presidents Trump, Putin and Zelensky? On the special edition of Vantage tonight from Helsinki, Palki Sharma breaks it down to you.
