He did point out he is a Finn and they have a fraught relationship with 
Russia. Finland is one of those countries that would rather not discuss 
WWII. After the Winter War they allied with Germany for the Continuation 
War against the Soviets and then made a separate peace with the Soviets 
and entered into the half-hearted Lapland War as the Germans retreated to 
Norway. After WWII the relationship with the Soviets was complicated until 
1991. They're feeling more secure these days and are anti-Russian.
