On Tuesday, 9 September, he met with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and their joint message was clear: Russia remains Europe\u2019s greatest threat, and Putin\u2019s intentions cannot be trusted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the press conference, both presidents stressed that Putin is ready to attack new countries. This is not just a cautious estimate, but, according to both leaders, a very real scenario for which the EU and NATO must be prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Particular attention was drawn to Nawrocki\u2019s remark that <em>only U.S. President Donald Trump is capable of forcing Putin to the negotiating table.<\/em> The statement was bold and sparked considerable debate both in Finland and in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Finland as a model in civil defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nawrocki highlighted Finland\u2019s strong model of comprehensive security and civil defence, which is of interest to Poland. He called Finland a <em>\u201csecurity provider\u201d<\/em> and emphasised that Warsaw wants to learn from this experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deepening cooperation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The talks also touched on strengthening regional cooperation. There was discussion of the idea that Northern European countries \u2013 including Finland and Sweden \u2013 could join a format similar to the Bucharest Nine (B9). This would reflect an increasingly unified approach to defence across the Baltic Sea region. The visit was not just protocol. It was a political signal that Finland and Poland stand shoulder to shoulder<strong>.<\/strong> Both have recent experience of living under Russia\u2019s shadow. The common stance between Helsinki and Warsaw is an important reminder that Europe\u2019s security is being decided right now \u2013 and polite diplomatic smiles are not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read More:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>YLE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yle.fi\/a\/74-20181911\">Polish President Nawrocki: Putin is ready to attack other countries<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Presidentti.fi:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidentti.fi\/en\/president-of-poland-to-pay-working-visit-to-finland\/\">President of Poland to pay working visit to Finland<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onet:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/wiadomosci.onet.pl\/swiat\/karol-nawrocki-z-wizyta-w-finlandii-rozmowy-o-bezpieczenstwie-i-wojnie-w-ukrainie\/yjr6vf2\">Karol Nawrocki w Helsinkach. &#8220;Jeste\u015bmy dostarczycielami bezpiecze\u0144stwa&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prezydent.pl:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prezydent.pl\/aktualnosci\/wizyty-zagraniczne\/prezydent-karol-nawrocki-przybyl-do-helsinek-%2C106813\">Helsinki.
