Finland's Winter War lasted 105 days.
Your war has lasted 10 times longer.
We understand what you're going through.
We will support for as long as it takes.
We support you because it is morally right.
We support you because you are fighting for your independence.
But we also support you because you're fighting for Europe's security.
The fight in Ukraine is our fight.
Slava Ukraini!*
