Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin is currently in Ukraine, as announced through her Instagram story where she shared a photo from a train, likely en route to Kyiv. This mode of transport is common for Western politicians traveling to Ukraine due to the closed airspace affecting civilian flights. On the same day, Marin also updated her followers from Warsaw Airport before continuing her journey.

Marin is now serving as a strategic advisor at the Tony Blair Institute, and her trip coincides with the fourth anniversary of Russia's significant military offensive against Ukraine, which began four years ago. Accompanying developments include a scheduled visit by Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who will engage in discussions in Kyiv regarding the status of peace negotiations and the broader context of Finland and Europe’s support for Ukraine.

President Stubb's visit is notable as it brings together several high-ranking officials, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, for a meeting hosted by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This gathering is expected to focus on the future of peace talks and the international community's commitment to aiding Ukraine amid ongoing conflict, emphasizing the continuous dialogue and support from European leaders in these challenging times.
