TL;DR Summary

Finland's upcoming presidential election will see either former prime minister Alexander Stubb or former foreign minister Pekka Haavisto taking on the role of a pro-European cosmopolitan leader and strong supporter of Ukraine, as the country enters a new era within NATO. Stubb, the front runner, is in favor of deep NATO cooperation and allowing the transportation, but not storage, of nuclear weapons in Finland, while Haavisto opposes such measures. The election outcome may be influenced by the candidates' international orientation and the potential alienation of nationalist Finns Party supporters.
