23.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Stubb Sealed the Drone Deal with Ukraine
⌨

Overnight papers closed the New York summit with recaps of Stubb's meeting with Trump's envoys and the sealed US-Denmark-Greenland bases deal.

Morning front pages fragmented until both evening papers converged on the escape of a 21-year-old from Niuvanniemi forensic hospital, identified as the man who shot a 16-year-old in Töölö, with police publishing his photo and warning not to approach. Attention then shifted to court proceedings ordering a mental evaluation for Rolf Nordmo in the Janne Puhakka murder trial.

By afternoon coverage returned to New York as Stubb signed an agreement for Finland to manufacture drones for Ukraine's armed forces, carried live by four outlets, alongside his meeting with Zelensky.

Evening editors tracked invitations for Stubb and Putin to the same Miami G20 meeting and Finland taking a two-set lead over world champion Italy in the volleyball European Championship quarterfinal.
