- Finland's President Sauli Niinistö, who has a longstanding relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, joins CNN's Fareed Zakaria to discuss what he has learned about Putin over the years, and what is next for his war in Ukraine. #CNN #News
Always love to hear Niniistös view on all this. We swedes are blessed to have neighbours like Finland.
Here is the clip recommended:

Yeh you sweds fight till the last Finn's and Baltics... Yeh we know how it is...
The bad old days...a long time ago, but suomalainen people have a long memory ...hopefully, it's better today? ?
You should save your countries from the Islami invasion
Be ready because after Ukraine is done and zelensky is finished……. Slavs are coming for you guys.
Someone asks a direct question and then someone directly answers the question. Amazing!
it's the Finnish way!
But he didn’t predict Putin’s next move!
Haha, Unlike us in the US!
Can you believe it, This man survived the tsunami in 2004 Thailand, so his life had a real meaning. As a Finn, I'm proud of him.
He climbed on a telephone pole and hanged on there with his son.
@lisaw top Or like Trevor Noah?
I'm proud of Sauli too. Great man.
yeah, he was hanging on a telephone pole, I remeber it too now.
Scandinavian countries have a lot to teach others.
Just listening to this President, gives you courage and peace of heart. So wise and clear. So practical and simple, yet never saying too much in any way. How lucky for Finland to have him. Wish the world had more leaders like him! He is a super great example!
One question for you ! Are you ready to die right now in a war ? Cuz what this stupid president is to start a war with Russia wic mean new people to die . So can you die instated of them ? Its very easy to type on line without thinking at all !
From Canada
One of the best interviews i witnessed. The President of Finland is a very good man.

Zacharia is a leftist clown. An unfunny clown, however, he did a decent job this time.
@@asongucollins5917
TROLL
That's one of the main reasons we re-elected him as the President.
Finns are cool, didn't ya know? (No I'm not a Finn)
Smart man. Very to the point. So few people answer a question, this guy gets right to it. Big time leader. Finland chooses well. Much respect.
Agreed. Most come to an interview with basically a rehearsed script of talking points written by their speechwriter, which is basically a list of talking points they want to promote, and really don't even listen to, or hear the question. Basically like junk food -- no actual content or information.
Wow! That turned into a total ramble-rant! Lol! Sorry!
Yes, this guy was incredibly refreshing! That is so sad really. Lol.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest!🤩
Putin will stop at Berlin ahahah seethe troonies !!!
I would add that Putin must have had no mother. KGB, he was an orphan. Explains a lot.

Not only his excellency is noticeably polite, indeed on June 17.2022 I was in
Zurich. I had about three hours discussion with three Young males Finlandians. I felt the civility and humanity in their words.
Very humble. With deep thoughts.
When at last I had to leave them flight to Qatar. All of them stood up wishing me good bye. I had the opportunity to ask them what is their education.
Surprisingly two of them had PhD in
Processing engineering. And still very humble and polite.
Let us learn from their humanity.
The most educated people are usually the kindest people, atleast in Finland.
But in our country very high qualified Educated capable person humanity Keeping. But our. People's r choosing to illitrate jalal people's

THIS can helps to take country's advance?
I like the way he answers all the questions clearly and directly. I'm very proud of my eastern neighbors and I'm so glad Sweden has such friendly relations with Finland. Brother nations forever! 🇸🇪❤️🇫🇮
Brother nations but still we hate you :D

Tack till Sverige från Finland. I'm also proud of Finland and Sweden having a stable trusted relationship.
🌺 Thank you.
Yes,I’ve been very impressed by this man’s ability to provide rational explanations of this situation when questioned by reporters. It’s a nice change from the insanity Im constantly exposed to from US politicians.
Finland's president is such a solid guy.
Did he give it to you up the ......

I live in Western Europe and my god are we projecting our own situation onto the Russians these days. We are the ones who are ALLIN in the most economically horrific way posible.
Yes. I don't want anymore senior citizens for Presidents here in the US. Good grief. Can't we do better?? Can't our so-called political parties do better? What a game that's going on.
Mr Niinisto... a man of peace - what a calm leader, no words out of place. Class.
True.👌
Real leaders do not need to control others via fear. They fortify others with their clear problem-solving, practical wisdom.
Unfortunately he wouldn’t be elected in America
He's a former KGB agent and got his millions through crime like Putin did. They got rich by ripping off all of Russia. Putin lives in a billion dollar house while Russian citizens have no indoor plumbing. This false profit saying not to worry about dying should go spend a couple months on the front line. Especially since all those Russian conscripts will soon be fertilizer for the Ukrainian farmers. Glory to Ukraine

I am an American. I have never heard this man speak but after reading all these great comments I went back and listened to him twice. You're all right! This man is a treasure! You Finns are very lucky to have him as your leader. He could be the chairman of the UN.
He’s actually from the National Coalition Party, which is a “sister party” to the Republicans in the US and under the same umbrella organization. But yeah, almost everyone likes him here, even most of the leftists. He’s got 1 more year left of his 2nd term and that’s it.
Chris Evans American would love good time with you can find out now if you power and do that first day now I think you feel like you can do it like that
He is Strong but America is WEAK NO BALLS
Why cuz he want to die with his all country instated of you ? Why you dont fight with Russia on your own teritory in your stupid suburb ?
I'm British. And this guy has my total respect . What a nice intelligent guy he is . We are going to be cold in 🇬🇧 this winter but we must back the Ukraine. God bless you Finland much respect to you 🇬🇧
Love you Brits! Greetings from Finland
@@erikafinland2162 thank you .
How by using your new puppet Finland? Why if you want to die dont go directlly like British to fight with Russia? Why the other countries have to fight for only your interest and you just wach on side? If you got any problems with Russia go directly deal with it not to use Ukraine, Finland or any other europian countries like a proxy !
@@HaakonOdinsson Nobody got contract the areas that had been invaded by the russians are rebuild for free by russians all ready there is no any signt that these areas was in war.The Ukrainian's areas that are hit by the war but still not part of Russia, got promisses from the american jews to givie them loans after the war finish, on very high interest fee !
Niinisto is well respected in Finland and internationally. I hope we will see more of him on American television.
Agreed!
He's presidency will last till somewhere 2024. Next president will probably be Olli Rehn, but what matters stable policy remains.
He is very famous in Philippines too. He is like a rockstar to many Filipinos.
He has my respect.
@@yUrNeRo98 is that really true?
The world needs more leaders like this man.
Comedy moment.
Great leaders are usually reflections of societies they lead. They don't appear out of nowhere, as much as a number of level-headed people in those societies.
You want great leaders, start with your own household and family. This is the most basic building block of every community. If it fails, your community is more likely to fail, then the society you live in, which in turn will produce failed leadership.
Amen
@@jeremijakrstic1968 Yes. That's what politics is all about.
Wiley Fox What about this interview made you think this guy is so great? I'm not saying that he isn't, but all I know of him is this interview, which I think was remarkably mundane and without much substance.
Wow, much respect to this man from Albania 🇦🇱 🇫🇮. A rare example of a worthy politician and how a leader should be.
I'm so proud of our president, a man of truth. Humbled to see rest of the world looking up to him.
He embodies the good of the Finns smart truthful and has Sisu.
Excellent interview, a VERY level headed President. Well done sir.
pritty gude
Well said
Indeed
So true.
Germanic nationalism ends. Ukraine started the war when they allowed the Azov, a neo Nazi regiment , into their national military. Also, Germanic neo Nazi propoganda is being taught in European schools. I know this because I have to argue with the little Nazis. They identify as nazis and they believe Romans and Greeks were all blonde and they want to fight about it. So for Russia and it's allies , this war is about ending Nazism, because the Germanic Nazis always attack, just like the trump movement was a fascist germanic movement. There are consequences to your actions .
Do you know what I like about this interview with Niinistö? The answer "I don't know". Rare honesty there. Which also means he will seek advice from people who ACTUALLY know the answers, without being proud and pretending he knows it all.
I reacted to the same thing in an interview with neil degrasse tyson, he also readily admitted he doesn't know everything. I truly admire that in people.
Stay humble people!
I love the answer. Unfortunately in America, politics don’t allow the answer to be “I don’t know.” Too many Americans in my experience, make the assumption that the people in the leadership positions always have the answer otherwise why would they be there? This is clearly a logical fallacy. Nonetheless, that is how America generally operates. Sometimes the wisest person is not listened too due to lack of authority even though their arguments could be correct. 😢
Wow
As a Ukrainian, for no moment during this interview have I thought "that's not true" or "that's understandable, but still unpleasant" as I sometimes think and feel about the talks of some Western leaders. His answers are impressive as they should be and a good example to follow. Thank you.
I think boris Johnson was plain enough . The first country to come to your aid .

In Finland it is tradition that the president elected resigns from all political party affiliations and thus becoming everyone’s president. Even though he ran as a member of Kokoomus (a more capitalist party in Finland) even people on the left side of political spectrum respect him very much here.
What can Americans do to evolve into more engaged citizens like Finland? What would you tell us?

What wonderful and clear responses the Finnish president gave to the questions. He should lead the world, in my opinion. For the first time in my life, I observed a presidential interview that showed his humbleness, patience, perseverance, and honesty. May God protect him and his country.
For sure.

This is in fact a prime example of what normal men worthy of being in high places and Power should follow cool calm level headed and rational and highly respected I salute the president of Finland I've been to his country it is beautiful and I thank him for this level-headed interview in these crazy times he's holding it together very well
Let's, see, how, the, people hold it together if
@@MWard-gd7pk Well, Finland was smart enough to not be dependent on oil or natural gas in the sense the rest of EU has been considering their history with Russia. I dont think they would have any issues holding it together.
There are no 'normal' men at your so named high places. The factors which impel men to seek leadership are rarely positive. I'm sure there's a genetic predisposition at work, but human societies are now too complex to allow the laws of the jungle, alpha males and females, to be instrumental in deciding who governs. Tribalism, in the guise of nationalism, has caused this aggression. A single, mentally disturbed, tyrant has been able to upset the balance of almost the entire world society with one inane decision. Alarmingly, the people of the USA allowed another mentally disturbed individual to govern them for four years. Thankfully the USA has a system of government which enables its mistakes to be remedied after a comparitively short time. The problem is that the people of Russia are denied this safety valve and we all must suffer because of that. Perhaps we can see now see that the best leaders are those who aren't self-important idiots like Putin and Trump. As for leaders who can keep their nerve, Zelensky is the man who has best kept his throughout this war and he was a comic actor. That says much to me.
I know right and he actually knows how to answer a question directly
Putin will stop at Berlin ahahah seethe troonies !!!
I like him immediately, as soon as he says: " difficulties which we are facing are minor if compare with those Ukrainian people are meeting" . President Sauli Niinistö shows he is a caring person, smart but also a kind heart guy. I trust him. He is like Zelenskyy. They are good leaders who serve people. A few good men indeed .
You comparing an honest Finnish man to a corrupt nationless Jew who led his nation straight to slaughter....
Zelensky is a joke
E🐴🐀t🐀🦓
@@Hagendaz97 right. like it wasnt solely putin who started his final disaster in ukraine.
Zelenesky speech back in August 2021 had the same substance as a nazi nationalist yet everyone respect him .
Professional, down to earth and smart. Great and honest interview
He is a straight, decent and intelligent leader.Finland is in good hands.
Our president is honestly very FINNISH man, if that makes sense. No bullsh**, straight honest answers and he always speaks in ways that everyone should understand him. Not much fancy words etc. I like and respect him a lot, most of us do no matter whether you're a democrat, conservative etc.
Wouldn't that be refreshing, if all politicians were straight talking.
Your president is just another Merkel, still letting in Russian so-called "tourists" from Finland's border, so that they can fan out all across EU to boost the ranks of fifth column loyal to all things Putin and Soviet Union, and hating all things American or Trump.
hes not finished hes only 28
Im 10% finish genetically. I dont like cold but I like honesty.
@@stephenr80 You don't have to like the cold. At times the cold shocks are very refreshing. Jumping into the snow or "avanto" straight from the sauna is very nice, after the fact.
As a US citizen, I envy such a calm leader who is confident of his people that the Finns have. Wish we had more like him.
I dont think we as Americans ever had a president like that. And if we did it was before my time.
Trump will save us all. 🤣🤣🤣
It's never been part of American culture to have calm leaders. We like charismatic leaders like FDR, Lincoln, Reagan, and so forth. It's just part of the American national identity: We prefer loud over quiet. Just think about Jeb Bush: A quiet and well informed intellectual type when it came to policies and world affairs. Also not very entertaining on camera.

From the UK. I am very jealous of your Finnish president, he seems a very sincere and thoughtful leader, one I wish we had here and the world over.
Yes and we have shitty liz
From the USA: I feel you. I wish we all had leaders who were thoughtful and level headed. We don't have the best record either. I like Niinisto. The very first item on the agenda of a leader is to KEEP their country from going to war, to nurture it like their own chidren; their every thought being the welfare of others. Maybe we can have him cloned.........
One thing to be said about the Finnish President vs the British PM: we actually elected ours. In a direct vote. With Sauli Niinistö getting 62.8% of the vote. With _7_ other candidates in the running. For his _second_ term.
How many Brits voted for Truss to be the PM?
From Canada: damn dude same
Yeah,.. I'm from Hungary, so imagine my position on this 😭😭😭
I wish I lived in Finland. Beautiful country and better government than what I got
GOD BLESS FINLAND 🇫🇮 🇫🇮❤
That was probably the most honest political interview I have seen in some time. Hard questions, with fair answers. I wish other leaders would do the same for the good of their country and not just their political party or affiliation.

Finland got it right whatever they are doing. They don’t overwork their population. They are very academically and mentally sound as a country. Their people are happy, wise and thriving!
And just why do you suppose that is? What is the critical difference?
🤔
There* you low IQ Democratic voter. Russia will win and has been stomping Ukraine all weekend and has not even declared war. Ukraine chose to befriend the Biden administration and will lose their country. Russia has 4 WEAPONS THAT THE USA DOES NOT HAVE. READ ABOUT THEM.
they are few people... not so difficult to rule.
Smaller countries with smaller populations are easier to rule.
Yeah, it’s because Finland is small🙄 because every country that is small is also thriving and well educated😂

They are a tough sturdy bunch . Stalin failed in Finland ! Russia could not do what they are doing in the Ukraine for the landscape is totally unsuited for massed troops and tank formations . Its vast dense forests are ideal ambush country and littered with lakes impassable to vehicles . There are not many main roads in its vast wilderness . The only problems with most Fins is they are all drinking too much . My girlfriend is from Finland and she is an alcoholic ! She cant just have one or two glasses . Once she starts she can stop .

As Part Finnish, part Swedish, I am proud of Finland, to be honest, often more proud of Finland than Sweden. It should be noted however that the nationalistic sentiment is much more profound in Finland than in Sweden, that is not so say Swedes can't be nationalistic, Finns, however, tend to be more so than Swedes. Thus, as a Finn I am happy to see people from all around the world express their love for our President, for he truly is remarkable. Such a down to earth and sane human being holding office is a privilege to have witnessed. I find it very fun how Finland suddenly has become so lauded as our President knows how to deal with Putin and the fact that we share a border with Russia which is long to say the least. Should anyone have a penchant for history, do read up on Finland's history. Our history is one of much conflict and painstaking endeavour to ascertain our independence (a civil war and the Winter War against Russia are a few examples) but it is most interesting and has a happy ending :)
@huizi fsi Indeed he is, one of the most loved presidents in the history of Finland, only falling behind Mannerheim and Kekkonen in terms of popularity😎. That is not bad seeing as both Mannerheim and Kekkonen are credited as pivotal in securing Finland’s independence😎
What a levelheaded and sincere man. Finland can be proud.
who remembers Georgian president Saakashvili, the UN investigation confirmed that the Russian said the truth that he attacked Tskhinval in 2008 and was also supported by the CNN and George Bush. who is interested in him now in prison in Georgia on charges of several crimes, one of them the murder of another politician, it is not surprising that the CNN does not talk about him anymore.
The Finnish President seems very thoughtful and he speaks such good English. Great Respect!
English he speaks well, no doubts.
@@ay061985 Ight calm down Yoda
My message to all aspiring leaders or and present leaders in the United States study this gentleman's leadership and learn something for a change
We are blessed, to have neighbours and clear-minded partners like Finland and Sweden.
What I like the most about the Finland's President is the fact that he answers the questions unlike many other politicians. He is clearly a straight shooter and a very down to earth person. I wish all government officials in the world were like him.
He really is well respected and down to earth kind of guy. For instance, it's not uncommon for him to just appear at the local rink, and randomly ask kids if he can play some ice hockey with them...
Så sant hälsningar från Sweden
Well, many government officials "in the world" are much like the Finnish president. Straight shooters and down to earth.
I know the Americans have gone through some terrible years recently and the former guy left a lot of crap behind which you have to deal with in the years to come. I hope you will get sorted out .... also by voting with your 🧠 and not your behinds ...
The USA also represents one whole continent, so the responsibility as US president is much greater than Niinistö. It is easier to have "thoughtfull thoughts" as a small country than as a leading superpower and to do power politics where the opposition are irresponsible people like putin.
US has so much connections across that it needs more firm stance to keep them. World is not perfect in any way and it would not be whoever would be goverment officials. Someone would allways take advantage of that and if not take then attempt it.
He definitely is a man of peace as he said he is. A very intelligent gentleman n graceful in his talk. I like the part where he says if yu look to Ukraine 🇺🇦 as to how they reacted in time if adversity ....that's the lesson we all gotta take. We'll spoke Mr President ❤
The president of Finland is the kind of leader that many others from Europe should follow.
A man who can say he is a man of peace and acknowledge that the world is complaining about not having any of « this » because of the war in Ukraine but firstly feel for the Ukrainians population, whose daily life fells the brunt of this war is a man of respect, thank you Sir, we need more Leaders like yourself.

The Finns have been living at the sharp end of Russian aggression for centuries. They and the Baltic states should ALWAYS be listened to.
When did Russia threaten Finland? NATO are the warmongers.
A typical Finn: frank, fair, unemotional - well said Président Ninisto.
We Fins are actually prone to very deep emotions. But these emotions are most cases rationalised and supressed. Sometimes to detriment of wellbeing and spyche. That said control of emotional responses can be very beneficial in adverse situations.
And kind and generous.
I'd call that acronym an: F2UF (fair frank unemotional finn) ?
I am sure they feel their emotions but implement rational ways to make them effective rather than destructive

They usually do the logical things, they are kind but straight forward, and maybe most importantly in times like this; I sure as hell would not want to be in a fight with them. I think Russia has not forgot the winter war of 1939 and what happened then.
Not as logical as estonians though. Finns have been quite naive towards Russia for the past 30 years, only the invasion got them thinking.
the whole of Europe is now forced to pay for the Biden family and other politicians pay for their machinations in Ukraine, to pay for US military bases and for wars that NATO starts without a UN mandate, for coups that lead to millions of deaths, Hunter and Soros and Co. will not become impoverished and will not freeze.
@@rogerthat3157 I'd dare say it's due to the successful neutrality policy by longest serving President Urho Kekkonen who fostered good relations between both the West and the USSR; we managed to avoid major ire by the USSR for the entirety of the Cold War, so in some sense we may have gotten complacent, but not fully as anti-Russian sentiment has remained ingrained in many people's minds. And we maintained the system of obligatory military service all this time largely due to Russia being right behind our eastern border.
Thanks, but now i m very angry with the government when they did not join Estonia and did not stop russians from entering and are discussing only now about building the fence against ryssland. How long are they gonna stay neutral 🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@rogerthat3157 not naive, neutral
Here in Finland we are very proud of our president! It’s allways a pleasure to listen him talking.
It seems you should be. Sitting here in the US, I wish we could handle our nation as dignified as Finland.
I'm from Hungary,... And I envy You for your leader 🤔🤔
You’re lucky to have him,
Very direct and objective.
I wish the world had more people like him in places of power.
Merja. So you should be. He's a true Gentleman. Love from North West England.
@@GregCoffin LOL they are in the agenda that's why the hype.
Thank you for taking your time to brief us on your thoughts.
I know this comment is coming in late, but I need to say this… 4:51.. No cracks! The people of Ukraine have not cracked and neither will the friends of Ukraine 🇺🇦! Stay strong 💪
Findland President. Thank you for sharing your words and time with the world.

I like his strength and faith in his countrymen.
That's a great point. Niinistö has a calm confidence in his people.
Wow, wish we had intelligent, pragmatic leaders like this!
Hyvä Presidenttimme= Sauli Niinistö. Olet hyväksi meidän maallemme, siitä kiitos myös.👋🕊🕊💕〰️〰️〰️🌺🍃
Huge respect for Finland. Kia kaha from NZ
Hooray for Hobbit Land! 😀
He's a very intelligent, measured, honest and practical leader. We need more like him.
He seems to be generally also respected by a lot of people from different sides of the political spectrum over here, you don't get the usual American style Republicans vs. Democrats grumbling over here. My family didn't vote for him, he wasn't my first choice for president either, but I have a lot of respect for him seeing how he has represented our country. The job of the president here is more of a figurehead but it's an important one either way, and the way in which he has handled affairs is commendable.
He's vague and saying unsubstantiated insinuations that CNN viewers lap up. He lacks confidence as he knows he's lying, the only good thing is there is a seed of shame in him some where.
Im from finland and I can tell you he is corrupted liar and a sellout and traitor. Dont let a politician fool you
@Bubba's Broadside the history is re written about that. Im finnish and nazis controlled us To attack soviet union. You dont know what happened

What a smart and genuie guy, not so many politicians like him.
Pray and Hope for world peace🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just for the record, as an American, i do not think of your people as being weak in any way and i have not heard of that from others. We respect and appreciate your strength!
I second that!
They fought the Russians before. They'll do it again when it's necessary.
As a native of finland We dont give af
Yeah, the only thing I know about Finland is that the most badass sniper in existence is from there.
GeeWizz! ARENT YOU THE FENCE RIDER?
President Niinistö is a thoughtful and considered leader. Thankful for wisdom from Finland to strengthen our turbulent world.
Amen
Pessoas ponderadas são as piores. Você nunca sabe o que realmente pensa. São imprevisíveis .
Bot comment. What a joke..
I envy people of Finland for having such a wise leader ,,God protect them .
Smart man, answering stupid questions and keeping it as cool and polite as he can. Respect!
Proud the UK has signed security agreements with our friends in Finland and Sweden 🇬🇧❤️🇫🇮🇸🇪
It would be nice to have someone as thoughtful and intelligent as this gentleman here in the UK.
100% wont happen though until we rise up .
You have Boris
Assume this must be ironic. But just incase, watch any clip of Bozo's performance at the Covid enquiry and you should see the diametrically opposed characteristics to this Finnish President@@zdravkoavdalovic3131
As a Finn I'm very proud of my country and our President. We have a long tradition of fighting Russia and have humiliated them before. We will do that again if it's necessary, we are a very calm, peaceful but tough people.
and you're still humiliated by your own government.
You're woke, emasculated and gender fluid.
Ask your empowered women, homosexuals and migrants to save you.
@@alexkowalewski
Exactly.
Their favorite word is "losing".
@@alexkowalewski For a global superpower with all the possible advantages to only be able to get one city from a country of only 3 million people at the time is pretty humiliating I'd say. But past is in the past, nobody who's sane in the head wishes for war. To us they're just statistics, but for them it was pure hell.
@@Qwerty-ly8qk Ruskies know what's waiting at the eastern Finnish border. Tough talk, but no action - wonder why?
Eventually Finland lost territory, but we did suffer a lot of casualties. If Russia attacked now, Finland is much more prepared and whole Europe + U.S would be pumping money for our defence. There is not a possibility that we Finns would just let any country to attack Russia using our borders unless of course we would have been attacked first.
GO FINLAND!!!
I love his message that people will step up and face difficulties and over come. We should all support them.
He don't looks to confident
@@ZeeDZaD55 that's just his face.. he always looks like that
Support Palestine too and Yameh
@@ZeeDZaD55 He is Finnish, that is definitively our confident look :)
I like Finlands 🇫🇮 Leader. He's a sterne/solid but down to earth man, he sums up his country perfectly. Civilised but tough 💪 as hell when it boils down to it
Putin will stop at Berlin ahahah seethe troonies !!!
Yes, he is very well respected here in Finland by all sides of politics. A genuinely humble guy.

Mad Dog Putin is a Complete Coward in Comparison. Glory to the Ukraine!!!
I have all the faith and trust in my country’s president
Yes! I agree!
From America we respect Finland ✊🏾
Kiitos
Amen 🙏 to that 🙏
Well, we don't hold America in high regard anymore...
Who's "we"?
Lol speaking for a nation
He seems a very decent man , the fins seem a decent people

@UCRJMMMlvIdJ4Tc9Lf9MWDKQ don't have any thoughts of your own to reply. You're a troll
He's been a fine president and majority of Finns agree on this. Sad that his term limit is up and he cannot seek re-election especially now when there is turmoil in Europe..
Well he is one of the greatest presidents we have had and I would say we never had any bad/weak presidents, but he goes down in history as one of the best. There is reason he was re-elected in 2018 by huge margin. Its hard to see anyone able to be as great as he has been from 2024 onwards
It's strange to hear a politician actually answer the questions frankly these days
Well said .
I fully understand why so many Finns like Sauli Niinistö. This country does many things right. Wished more would have such an intelligent president.

In Finland president is more of a diplomatic position, and has little power in internal issues. Political power is shared between the govt, the parliament and civil officials.
