Finland's news agenda on Monday is dominated by Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelensky's visits to Washington DC and the UK over the past weekend.
To recap: US President Donald Trump and his number two JD Vance criticised Zelensky on camera in the White House, suggesting he was dependent on US support and was insufficiently grateful for the support already given.
Zelensky defended himself and his country, correcting factual errors in the Americans' onslaught, but left without a diplomatic win or a deal on extracting minerals which was the stated purpose of the visit.
On Sunday he went to London to join European and Canadian leaders discussing plans for a new, more independent defence framework as the US apparently prepares to leave its erstwhile allies to their own devices.
Helsingin Sanomat's analysis of the weekend's events was cold.
"It feels like this week's show has been seen before," read the first line of the analysis, which went on to bemoan the lack of concrete measures agreed during the meeting.
Russian assets, which are currently frozen due to sanctions, could not be seized and used for Ukraine in case that had negative implications for the euro and the EU's banking system.
Other countries said they could potentially send soldiers for peacekeeping duties, but the overriding sense was that after three years of war, Europe was finally starting to plan a strategy to support Ukraine.
That's better late than never, according to HS, but the worst-case scenarios are still not being prepared for.

MPs' travel costs
Iltalehti has the latest in the 'parliamentarian expenses scandal' genre, with a look at travel expense claims submitted since the election in 2023.
Top of the charts are National Coalition MPs Pia Kauma and Jukka Kopra, and their Social Democrat colleague Kimmo Kiljunen.
Kauma has completed 36 trips totalling 162 travel days in that time, with Kiljunen making 34 trips over 139 days. Kopra travelled 30 times for a total of 118 days.
There were explanations: Kauma has a role as chair of the OSCE's parliamentary assembly, Kiljunen was chair of parliament's Foreign Affairs committee until he resigned last year, and Kopra is chair of parliament's defence committee.
Overall 170 of the 200 legislators in parliament have made at least one foreign trip during this parliamentary term.
Lapland travel boom
Finland is entering the third and final week of the school winter holidays, and Ilta-Sanomat carries a piece looking at the flood of foreign tourists in Finnish Lapland at the moment.
The international visitors have displaced Finns to such an extent that in December, the peak of the winter season, just 12 percent of overnight stays are spent by Finns.
That's not too surprising, as the average cost of a hotel room at that time was 273 euros. Finns are not keen to spend big money on those rooms, or on experiences like ascending a hillside in a piste caterpillar to look at the aurora borealis.
The reporter had joined an Indian couple doing exactly that, at a cost of 129 euros per head. Finns are not going to spend that money when they could just as easily view the light show from the back yard of their rental cottage.
The irony, according to the IS piece, is that every plane arriving in Lapland increases the rarity of, well, Lapland winters in the traditional sense. Climate change is accelerating and aviation is one of the biggest contributing factors, but Lapland tourism promoters don't have time to stop and consider that long-term impact.
