Finland has resisted joining Nato for decades - but now due to a lingering threat from Russia, the country is edging closer to joining the alliance and preparing for a battle they hope will never come. KiranCMoodley reports.

If the Kremlin wanted to stop Nato expansion – that’s also not exactly going according to plan.

Today, Sweden followed Finland to confirm it would apply to join the military alliance, both risking the wrath of Moscow. Sweden has pursued a policy of neutrality for 200 years – while Helsinki’s non-alignment is fuelled by fears over the security of its long 830-mile border with Russia.In Moscow today, President Putin claimed that Russia had no problem with either country joining Nato, but he warned that the “expansion of military infrastructure into this territory would certainly provoke our response… we shall see what threats are created for us”.

'Russian mischief' if Finland and Sweden wait on NATO membership - ex-Deputy Sec-GenAny 'mischief' would include measures such as 'cyber attacks' rather than direct military attacks 'because the Russian armed forces are fully preoccupied in this dreadful invasion of Ukraine', Ms Gottemoeller said. DavidLammy | Gottemoeller DavidLammy Gottemoeller DavidLammy Gottemoeller Anyone would think the West didn't engage in its own cyber destabilising against supposed Western enemies. Didn't the UK of late establish 'a centre for cyber and hacking learning' that with its asking sort to draw in 'unwashed students' of a lone and stay-at-home disposition? DavidLammy Gottemoeller Why is no Diplomatic solution being sought upto now rather than arming and re-arming this Country..many of those weapons are gonna soon be in wrong hands. I guess the billionaire Arms manufacturers are rubbing their hands with glee.

Finland confirms it will apply to join NATO to 'maximise' country's securityAn expansion of the 30-country military alliance would be a huge blow to Russia's President Vladimir Putin, who undertook the war in, what he said was, a bid to thwart its easterly advance. Good luck surviving Russia 🇷🇺 will not allow NATO troops on Finish soil. This is why Putin had to take action in the first place.
