Kremlin Says Finnish Entry To NATO Would 'Certainly' Threaten Russia's Security

 

RT: Finland’s NATO membership will trigger response – Moscow 

Finland joining NATO would pose a threat to Russia and will not help make the world any more secure, warns Moscow 

Moscow has warned that Finland joining NATO would pose a direct threat to Russia’s security and its acceptance to the military alliance would prompt Russia to develop measures to ensure its safety. 

That’s after Finnish officials confirmed on Thursday their commitment to join the US-led bloc and announced plans to pen a formal application later this week.  

"There is a current instruction from the president to develop a list of measures to strengthen our western flanks in connection with the strengthening of NATO’s eastern flanks,” said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov during a daily press briefing on Thursday, adding that the expansion of NATO towards Russia’s borders will not make the world or the Eurasian continent any more secure.
