Valtonen also expressed that EU countries will likely need to increase defense spending beyond NATO’s 2% GDP target.
“No one wants peace more than Ukraine. But if anyone thinks ending arms supplies will stop the war, I have one thing to say: this won’t end the war; it’ll end Ukraine,” she said, stressing the need to support Kyiv.

DW also noted that Finland had authorized the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use Finnish-supplied weapons against Russian targets as early as May 2024.
