  • Some of the millions of Ukrainians displaced by war found their way to Finland. We met a young music teacher by the name of Sofiaa, who is from Central Ukraine. She came to Finland and fell in love with a Finn named Otto.

    Beautiful voices, it’s a shame that an elderly despot has inflicted so much pain and suffering on millions of innocent people. Shame on the Russians for being a passive human mass, not real people with a sense of dignity.
    Thank you Finland for harbouring these great people in their time of need. You have had your bitter taste of Russian imperialism in the bygone years. The heroism of your grandfathers and fathers will never be forgotten as will not your own contemporary kindness.
    Love from Canada 🍁 We have quite a few people of Finnish origin in Northern Ontario which, with its abundance of lakes and forests, resembles Finland a lot.

      Ukrainian resistance to that despot has also helped complete Ukrainian national identity and reinforce Ukrainian self-respect. It is crucially important to stand with Ukraine and keep helping Ukraine, as a fellow democratic country. If we help defend Ukraine as a fellow democracy, if we defend its citizens and independence, we will also defend our democracies.

    glad to see that Ukrainians are being welcomed into Finland with open arms so to speak considering that during the Winter war where many Finns died defending their land against conscripted Ukrianian soliders of the Soviet armies under Stalin - a rather under covered story that needs to be discussed no matter how painful the memories, in my opinion, as I continue to maintan that: Ukrainians must now face the possibility of death defending their land against Russia or risk again being conscripted as little Russians to fight in Putin's further wars of Russian imperialist expansion and pacifying its neighbours at a latter date where they risk being sent in "Russian meat wave attacks"

      i dont have the skills to distinguish it. both are very close slavic languages, closer than estonian and finnish.
      Many ukraineans speak russian primarily. Depending from where they are and how they grew up.
      So, a finn is not able to tell - if a person is russian or ukrainean. Better to not judge a person based on the language.
