<p>She had said her new priority would be focusing on personal life, after four tumultuous years of serving her nation as the prime minister.</p>

<p>She grabbed world attention and made headlines across the globe in 2019 when she became Finland’s youngest ever person to assume the PM role at the age of 34.</p>

<p>In her four years, she led the nation through the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic crisis. In her later years, she ended Finland’s neutrality over the Russia vs NATO conflict and openly backed Ukraine.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Marin criticises Russia in last speech as chair</strong></h2>

<p>In a speech delivered on Friday before stepping down as the party chair, she again launched a scathing attack on Finland’s eastern neighbour.</p>

<p>"Russia and its representatives must be held accountable for the illegal crime of aggression, war crimes and the consequences of war," Marin said.</p>

Finland's former PM Marin steps down as party’s chair to focus on ‘personal life’

<p>Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin announced on Wednesday (May 10) that she and her husband have filed for divorce. After a setback in the recent general election, Marin had said that she would step down as Social Democratic Party (SDP) leader in September.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In Instagram stories, Marin and her husband of three years Markus Raikkonen, wrote: "We have jointly filed for divorce. We are grateful for the 19 years together and our beloved daughter. We will remain best friends, close to each other and loving parents."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We will continue to spend time together as a family and with each other. We hope that you respect our privacy. We will not comment further on the matter," the post added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Marin and Raikkonen have a five-year-old daughter and were married in 2020 — a period when she was in office dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Until recently, they worked at a venture capital firm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 37-year-old became the world's youngest prime minister when she took office in 2019. She is often considered by fans around the globe as a millennial role model for progressive new leaders. In the recent election, Marin conceded defeat as right-wing opposition National Coalition Party leader Petteri Orpo claimed victory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Marin hailed Social Democratic Party (SDP) improvement in both her party's vote share and its projected number of MPs as she addressed supporters and said that "it's a really good achievement, even though I didn't finish first today".&nbsp;</p>

<p>From her role in Finland becoming a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member to outstanding leadership qualities during the coronavirus pandemic, she emerged as Finland's most popular prime minister in decades.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, there were some downfalls. She faced criticism from a certain section of society and opposition when last year some of her personal videos were leaked on social media platforms, in which she was seen partying with a group of Finnish celebrities. She even had to take a drug test to clear suspicions of wrongdoing.&nbsp;</p>

Hundreds of Finnish women share party videos in support of PM Sanna Marin

<p>Sanna Marin, Prime Minister of Finland, has been captured in a video dancing intimately with a man, reports Euronews. The video, which reportedly shows Marin in what appears to be a club, is being shared on social media. It is the second video that purportedly shows the politician partying. Marin (36) drew criticism earlier this week for a&nbsp;video that showed her dancing in a party. There have been allegations that she was under influence of&nbsp;drugs when she was recorded in the first video. The latest video is likely to further sharpen criticism from political quarters.</p>

<p>"A new video has emerged of Prime Minister Sanna Marin dancing closely with a man who isn't her husband, a day after leaked images showed her partying with friends. While Marin has faced backlash, the response to the videos at home and abroad has been broadly positive," tweeted Euronews.</p>
