TL;DR Summary

Finland's Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, lost her reelection bid in a narrow three-way race largely centered on the economy. The center-right National Coalition Party came in first, followed by the populist Finns Party, and Marin's Social Democratic Party came in third. Finland is set to join NATO as its neighbor, Russia, invades Ukraine. National Coalition Party leader Petteri Orpo is expected to become the country's prime minister, and the winning party traditionally forms a coalition to obtain a majority. Finland's support for Ukraine will not dwindle under Orpo's leadership, and he also had a message for Russian President Vladimir Putin: "go away from Ukraine because you will lose."
