HELSINKI (Reuters) - Russia may try to carve out a peacemaker role for itself after successfully hosting the World Cup and following the summit in Helsinki between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin, Finland's foreign minister said on Monday.
Some analysts in Finland have raised concern that, with the World Cup out of the way, Russia might embark on an unpredictable power play rather similar to its annexation of Crimea which came soon after it had held the Winter Olympic Games in 2014.
