Edit note: This episode includes a line where a guest says that legal changes mean dual Finnish-Russian citizens are prohibited from certain tasks in the Finnish defence forces. In fact, no nationalities are subject to a blanket ban, but for some tasks a security check looks at foreign links of individuals and decides on a case-by-case basis. In addition, a presenter stated that Russia requires people to renounce previous citizenships in order to acquire Russian citizenship. This is no longer the case, since changes to the legislation took effect last year.

We ask how Finland's new president will manage Russian relations, what his views are on China, and what are the implications for Åland's demilitarisation with a National Coalition Party FM, PM — and now president in office.
