Despite sanctions, Russian fish worth over €700 million, continues to reach EU markets, even during Christmas. Cod and pollock flow in, often via Norway, bypassing stricter rules. Baltic states push for a harder line, linking the trade to Russia’s war machine.

Silti Suomen omakin etu olisi, että konkreettiseksi turvaksi muodostuu mahdollisimman laaja koalitio. Sen pitää nyt olla tavoite ja sellaisessa meidän on oikein ja luontevaa olla rohkeasti mukana.
