Vladmir Putin’s led Russia has issued out a threat to one of its neighbours Finland over its plans to join North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
Russia warned Finland that it would attack if it ever joins NATO.
Recall that Russia is in war with Ukraine over the latter’s decision to join the Western military alliance, NATO,
The Russian Foreign Ministry made this disclosure via a signed statement on Thursday
The statement read, “Finland joining NATO is a radical change in the country’s foreign policy.
“Russia will be forced to take retaliatory steps, both of a military-technical and other nature, in order to stop threats to its national security arising.”
The statement comes immediately after Finland’s President Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin said the country should apply to join NATO “without delay.”
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24 has shifted countries like Finland and Sweden’s calculus on NATO membership, with Finland also seriously considering lodging an application to join the alliance.
