KHELSINKI, November 9. /TASS/. Relations between Russia and Finland will improve for the better someday, but not today, Finnish President Alexander Stubb said in an interview with the Ilta-Sanomat daily on Saturday.

The newspaper pointed out that Finnish President Stubb had been in the presidential office for eight months already, but never managed to hold any talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Yes, someday this relationship will mend and be put to good use, but now is not the time to do so," the Finnish daily quoted Stubb as saying. "I would rather stay in the 2024 situation if compared to the situation we were in for instance in 1956 regarding our relations with the Soviet Union and the West."

On October 29, a Helsinki court told TASS that the court's August 13 decision stipulated seizing movable and/or immovable property of the Russian Federation in Finland in the amount of about $5 billion. The action was precipitated by a claim from six Ukrainian energy companies, including Naftogaz.

According to the Russian Embassy, the arrest was imposed on more than 40 real estate facilities. The diplomatic mission extended a note to the Finnish Foreign Ministry expressing a strong protest against the actions of the republic's authorities.

On October 29, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia would file a legal complaint against the potential confiscation of its assets in Finland and in response to Ukraine’s relevant lawsuit.
