    • 2022 March 4, Elina Väntönen, “Niinistö tapaa tänään Bidenin, ja se on itsessään merkittävä tuen­osoitus – ja viesti Venäjälle”, in Helsingin sanomat‎:
      Harva uskoo, että Washingtonin-vierailulta tulisi ”Nato-pommia” eli uutista, joka kertoisi Suomen mahdollisen Nato-jäsenyyden nytkähtäneen oleellisesti eteenpäin.
