Putin meeting with Sauli Niinistö - Finland the bridge between East and West?
Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted Sauli Niinistö, The President of Finland in Sochi on the 22nd of August. The conversation went far beyond the framework of bilateral relations and a number of interesting issues were brought up - including the idea of a first-ever Arctic Summit. It was also in Helsinki, not so long ago, that the leaders of Russia and the United States met and a number of questions regarding the follow-up results from that meeting interested Finnish and Russian journalists alike. Disarmament was a significant issue on the agenda and Putin replied to questions about the buildup of tensions between NATO and Russia stating that it is NATO that is moving its personnel and hardware closer to Russian borders and not vice-versa, which has made Russia respond by improving its own defences. Will the Arctic Summit ever happen? If it does, it is welcomed by both Putin and Niinistö.
