Medinsky: The Finns shelled Leningrad and were proud that they were killing children

Russian Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky commented on the statement by Finnish President Alexander Stubb about the similarity of the current situation on Ukraine with the situation of Finland in 1944.

For some reason, it is believed that the Finns did not shell Leningrad, Medinsky noted.

"They fired. And they were proud of killing women and children," he said.

According to Medinsky, about the systematic shelling of Pietari (Petrograd) in the autumn of 1941, the newspaper Uusi Suomi wrote: "Our heavy artillery is hitting again. Five batteries simultaneously begin to send ardent greetings to the Russians."

"Now they don't call it "ardent greetings", but "interaction experience"," Medinsky added.

Stubb on August 18 in the Oval Office of the White House drew parallels that caused outrage in Russia.

"We have a long border with Russia, and we have a historical experience of interaction with Russia. We found a solution in 1944, and I think we can find a solution in 2025," Stubb said.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that these words are "hell."

"The big question is, did Stubb understand the whole hell of his line? If Stubb decided to act as in 1944, then he needs to speak out against his recent Nazi allies and start beating the Kiev regime," the diplomat said.
