Mika Niikko announced the matter on Tuesday night.
Congressman Mika Niikko (ps) announces his resignation as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
“I openly admit that the tweet I posted this morning was carelessly worded. It goes without saying that I am defending Ukraine’s sovereignty and Finland’s foreign policy. Each country has the independent right to decide whether or not to apply for NATO membership. ”
“My fundamental concern is whether diplomacy will succeed in avoiding a full-scale war. Due to my careless tweet, I will resign as chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee at tomorrow’s committee meeting and leave my seat to be filled by our parliamentary group. “
