Finlandโs Foreign Minister Elena Valtonen has strongly condemned the latest Russian air strikes on Ukraine, stating that the attacks have left nearly half of Kyivโs apartment buildings without heating amid freezing winter conditions.
In her statement, Valtonen highlighted that countries like Finland, which experience harsh winters, fully understand the deadly consequences of extreme cold.
She said that exposure to such conditions can quickly become a matter of life and death, particularly for civilians.
