Finland’s President Alexander Stubb stated on Sunday that he had informed U.S. President Donald Trump about the necessity of establishing a deadline for a ceasefire in Ukraine to facilitate its implementation.
“April 20 would be an ideal date for a complete ceasefire without any preconditions… A deadline is essential, especially since it coincides with Easter and marks three months since President Trump took office,” Stubb conveyed to Finnish journalists in London.
On Saturday, Stubb made an unexpected visit to Florida to meet with Trump, where they discussed enhancing the bilateral relationship between their nations and also played a round of golf, according to Stubb’s office.

Since his inauguration in January, Trump has been focused on bringing an end to what he describes as a “ridiculous” conflict in Ukraine. Earlier this week, the United States announced separate agreements with both Ukraine and Russia to halt their military actions in the Black Sea and against each other’s energy infrastructure.
Stubb remarked to reporters that Trump’s patience with Russia was diminishing, and the U.S. had “extensive” plans in place should Russia refuse to agree to a ceasefire.
On Sunday, Trump warned that he might impose secondary tariffs ranging from 25% to 50% on all Russian oil if he believes Moscow is obstructing his efforts to resolve the conflict.
