Finnish media began the day with continued focus on the Ukraine conflict, with Helsingin Sanomat reporting on Europe's perceived subservience and Ilta-Sanomat noting Ukrainian strikes on a Moscow-area power plant. Early afternoon saw a deepening of the "peace plan mess" in Switzerland, with MV-lehti quoting US Vice President Vance stating Ukraine's victory was "fantasy."
Later in the afternoon, the focus shifted to Europe's counter-proposal. Iltalehti and MTV Uutiset reported on Europe presenting its peace plan, which included a ceasefire and a freeze of frontlines. Ilta-Sanomat and Keski-Suomen Maakuntalehti detailed Trump's strong statements accusing Ukrainians of ingratitude, with Bloomberg reporting Trump was informed of the peace plan at the last minute. By evening, Rubio announced a preliminary document in negotiations, but MV-lehti reiterated Vance's "fantasy" claim.
