> Finnish President Alexander Stubb said Russia will not use nuclear weapons against Ukraine or attack NATO, arguing that Moscow’s only remaining escalation option is mobilization. He said Russia’s battlefield losses limit its ability to open a second front, while warning that a new mobilization could bring domestic political repercussions. Moscow denies plans for one.
