Vladimir Putin is firmly convinced that the Europeans are weak, said Finland’s former head of state Sauli Niinistö at the end of the presentation when asked how the Russian president could be stopped: „We have to show him that we are strong.“ And not only strong against military threats in the east, but also in terms of resilience with regard to hybrid attacks, natural disasters and the protection of vital infrastructure. The EU is currently not sufficiently prepared for these multiple crises, which is why the 76-year-old is calling for the consistent development of comprehensive European crisis management.
