Well i guess Finland should have worked at getting Ukraine to sign the Minski agreement that has been sitting on the Ukraine Presidents desk since 2014. And the USA should not have helped overthrow the dually elected government of Ukraine so they could install the puppet president that is there now. Fake presidents have consequences just go fill your gas tank or go to the grocery store in America
