Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said that the issue of the country’s accession to NATO should be decided this spring.

Yle writes about it  .

According to her, Russia’s military aggression in Ukraine forced Finland to reconsider its security policy. 

“Russia is not the neighbor we thought it was,” Marin said. 

The Prime Minister emphasized that the time has come for Finland to seriously reconsider its position on military commitment.

“Any decision on NATO membership must be made ‘thoroughly but quickly, in fact, this spring,'” she said in a speech to the leadership of the Social Democratic Party.

Marin noted that Finland will face consequences if it decides to seek or refuse to join the Alliance.

Recall that after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the citizens of Finland signed a petition for the country’s entry into NATO. Although back in January, Finland did not plan to join the Alliance.

Then the Russian Federation threatened them with “serious consequences” if they tried to join NATO.

    • Probably, but these days Sweden is a shithole country anyway.

      There are other ways to gain power over another country and it’s people, much smarter and sinister ways to do it.
      My country is a perfect example.
      And there are alot of collaborators in Sweden.

  1. What will Russia do, invade? They can’t even beat a failed state, never mind a country with modern weapons.

  2. “Russia is not the neighbor we thought it was,”
    I can’t believe that the entire Western Europe was so deeply in coma all these years. Didn’t mafia land commit enough crimes to show everyone what a shithole it is?
