The Kremlin stated that President Vladimir Putin is willing to normalise relations with Finland if Helsinki seeks to rebuild ties, acknowledging the current state of relations as "sad."

The Kremlin announced on Tuesday that President Vladimir Putin is open to restoring relations with Finland, which are currently in a "sad state," if Helsinki expresses a desire to rebuild them.

This comes after Finnish President Alexander Stubb told British counterpart Keir Starmer on Monday that Finland needs to “mentally prepare” for the potential restoration of ties with Russia.

Finland, which shares a 1,300 km border with Russia, joined NATO in 2023, a move that Moscow previously condemned as a historic mistake.
