00:00What does it mean to be

00:29truly Nordic? In this sense that you know from November to February you don't see

00:35any sunlight. Previously at least you had snow. Now in the Baltics even snow may be disappearing

00:41because of the climate change. And it's extremely important that we are able to keep our people's

00:46mental health during these difficult periods. And I think it also adds to this kind of Nordic

00:52culture of thoughtfulness and long discussions and you know how it is. A little bit like

00:58Danish hygge but I think in Nordic case it's a little bit more sinister. We discuss serious

01:04things. We don't just light candles and then sit by the fireside.

01:08It's fantastic that Ukrainian economy has recovered to the extent that even independent journalists

01:18are able to finance themselves again. And it happened pretty quickly. So the resilience of

01:23Ukrainian nation is fantastic. And I think they actually stand as a great role model. Not only do

01:29they stand between Russia and Europe, they stand as a great role model of courage for everybody.
