On Tuesday evening, President Sauli Niinistö appeared on Yle's A-studio, discussing his perspectives regarding the Ukraine war and the current security situation in Europe. This visit comes at a critical time as the region grapples with the implications of the ongoing conflict and seeks to address security concerns.

During the episode, viewers noticed that the host, Rosa Kettumäki, addressed Niinistö informally, using the familiar 'sinä' form instead of the more formal 'te' in Finnish, which has cultural significance and reflects the relationship dynamics in Finland. Kettumäki explained to Ilta-Sanomat that this approach had been pre-arranged and is customary when addressing a former president, indicating a level of informality yet respect during the conversation.

Niinistö agreed to the informal address, which highlights a more personable interaction between public figures and media personnel in Finnish society. This interaction not only humanizes the president but also reflects the evolving norms of how leaders engage with the public, particularly in discussing significant issues such as national security and international relations.
