Finland won the war with the Soviet Union because it retained its independence. This was stated by Finnish President Alexander Stubb in an interview with the Economist, commenting on the agreement with the USSR signed in 1944.
"We still feel that we have won because we have preserved our independence," he said.
As reported by EADaily, in March, the same Stubb complained about the results of the Soviet-Finnish War (1939 — 1940), as a result of which part of the territories of Finland passed to The Soviet Union. In 1944, Finland was forced to sign the Moscow Armistice, fearing the advance of the Red Army against Germany and its allies.
