Sinikukka Saari

Sinikukka Saari is a leading researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs, specializing in European security issues. She has been vocal about the potential risks posed by the negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, particularly concerning the sovereignty of smaller European states and the future of European security architecture. Saari warns that these discussions could lead to a hierarchy of states in Europe, where some nations are fully sovereign while others may lose their autonomy in foreign policy decisions due to the influence of larger powers.
