Finnish President Alexander Stubb told CNBC Tuesday that Ukraine has already won the war against Russia \u2014 even as he warned that Kyiv still urgently needs more air defense support from NATO allies.<\/p>\n

Stubb highlighted that Ukraine had managed to preserve its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity despite more than four years of a full-scale invasion by Moscow. <\/p>\n

“Look at things from a Moscow perspective: In the past four years, during the active war, they have advanced 60 kilometers. In World War II, they went from Moscow to Berlin, that’s 1,400 kilometers. You have to ask yourself: ‘Who has won, who has lost?’ I say Ukraine has won,” Stubb said at the NATO Summit in Ankana, Turkey on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“My message is that yes, Europe needs to ramp up, but you know what, Ukraine needs NATO, but NATO needs Ukraine as much as the other way around,” he added.<\/p>\n

Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson struck a similar tone earlier in the day. <\/p>\n

“Russia is certainly not winning the war against Ukraine right now, that’s quite obvious, Ukraine is having spectacular successes,” Kristersson said. “Russia is not at all managing this war as they anticipated in the beginning.”<\/p>\n

The Nordic leaders’ comments come as NATO allies gather in the Turkish capital for a summit dominated by Ukraine’s future, Russia’s threat to Europe, and the scale and speed at which European countries can reduce their reliance on the U.S.<\/p>\n

It marks one year after NATO leaders committed to hiking defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP by 2035, following years of pressure from Washington and after Russia invaded Ukraine.<\/p>\n
