Thursday's newspapers are once again dominated by the evolving and somewhat dramatic security situation in Europe.
Iltalehti has a preview of the day's emergency meeting of the European Council in Brussels, drawing heavily on a Politico piece that dubs the summit a 'five minutes to midnight' call to action.
The meeting is expected to agree new forms of support for Ukraine after the United States dramatically paused military aid and then scaled back intelligence sharing with Kyiv in order to increase the pressure for a ceasefire without security guarantees.
Finland will be represented in Brussels by Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (NCP).
Helsingin Sanomat, meanwhile, takes a look at the differing tones European leaders have taken on the situation.
The article was published online before French President Emmannuel Macron's speech stating Russian aggression "knows no borders" and announcing plans to increase defence spending and expand European defence co-operation, so it focuses on German Chancellor-elect Friedrich Merz.
The Christian Democrat has talked of wondering what is left of Nato security guarantees after Donald Trump's erratic and Russia-friendly foreign policy moves recently, and even suggested Europe might need its own nuclear deterrent under Franco-British leadership.
That contrasts starkly with comments from Finland's President Alexander Stubb, who has said there is no cause for alarm about Nato security guarantees.
HS asks researchers which leader is closer to the truth, and both answer clearly: Merz is reflecting reality, while Stubb is reassuring his audience.

Election compasses
We are approaching the local election campaigning season, and that means that most media in Finland are publishing their election compasses.
These are a popular way to explore the candidates for election in each locality. As Finland uses an open list d'Hondt electoral system, choosing a candidate and a party that aligns with your views is important, and the compasses offer a way to compare large numbers of candidates across a select few questions and issues.
While Yle's election compass is available in English, most media houses have their own versions and they sometimes offer quite different results.
On Thursday Ilta-Sanomat published its compass, and you can test it here.
Tampere daily Aamulehti also has an election compass out today, as does Helsingin Sanomat, and a plethora of other outlets nationwide.
Snow chaos coming
There has been plentiful media coverage of the milder than usual conditions this spring, but Iltalehti has some disappointing news: snow chaos is on the way.
This week southern Finland could hit temperatures as high as 13 degrees, giving Finland a taste of spring. But that won't last.
Next week several centimetres of snow are expected, with up to 25 centimetres hitting Central Finland.
Although the forecast could change, IL says that the weather is likely to turn colder in the wake of the precipitation.
