Joining NATO: Russia Threatens Finland, Sweden

Russian President Vladimir Putin, says the Kremlin is not threatened by Finland and Sweden joining NATO.

It was reported that Putin said Russia will take military countermeasures.

Speaking to journalists during a visit to Turkmenistan, he said, “There is nothing to worry us in terms of Swedish and Finnish membership of NATO.’’

He rather threatened that both countries should be prepared for a Russian reaction.

“They must clearly understand that previously there were no threats to them, but if troops were stationed there and infrastructure established, we will have to respond accordingly.

“And they will also make the same threats to the territory from where threats to us are coming,’’ he said, according to the Russian TASS news agency.

“Everything is good between us, but now there will be some tension, that is obvious and there is no doubt about that, it can’t go any other way,’’ Putin said.

Russia had earlier threatened that there would be consequences after it first learned of Finland and Sweden’s plans to join NATO.

The two countries decided to abandon decades of neutrality and join the defense alliance in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The membership process was initiated at the NATO summit in Madrid on Wednesday.

The expansion of the defense alliance would extend its land border with Russia by more than 1,300 kilometers.

Putin stressed that Finland and Sweden joining NATO would be quite different from Ukraine being granted membership.

It denied that Russia had triggered Finland and Sweden’s volte-face on NATO membership through its vehement opposition to Ukraine’s own plans to join the alliance.

Putin accused the West of trying to turn Ukraine into an anti-Russia that it would use to destabilize Russia and attack its culture.

“That would not be the case with Finland and Sweden,” he added.
