Aleksi Jäntti, a Finnish MP from the National Coalition Party, has put forward a significant proposal aimed at enhancing the security situation in Europe through the creation of a so-called 'bold coalition'. He emphasizes that while the coalition of NATO countries supporting Ukraine is a positive step, mere willingness is not enough; there must also be a commitment to take courageous actions. In his statement, Jäntti suggests that once a ceasefire is reached in Ukraine, this coalition should be prepared to deploy troops to ensure peace within the region.

Jäntti underscores the urgency of his proposal by noting that the timeframe for action may be short, given Russia's historical timeline and strategies. To prepare for the coalition's tasks, he advocates for comprehensive preparations ahead of time. As the co-chairman of the Finnish Parliament's friend group for Ukraine, Jäntti stresses the need for proactive measures that would allow for flexible defense cooperation, particularly in response to hybrid warfare contexts in addition to conventional military situations.

This proposal could lead to significant legislative reforms in Finland, reflecting the country's evolving defense policies in light of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. By promoting a coalition that is both responsive and resilient, Jäntti aims to contribute to a stronger collective security framework within Europe that is capable of addressing the complexities posed by Russia's aggression and its implications for regional stability.
