This decision of Finland undoubtedly constitutes a direct provocation and threat to Russia, which may trigger strong dissatisfaction from the Kremlin.
In the face of Finland's provocations, Russia's Putin responded resolutely. Putin: YesUnited States**Biden claimedRussian armyStatements that could attack NATO were refuted, saying that this was complete nonsense. Putin said that there are no substantive problems between Russia and NATO countries, and that it is not in the interests of the United States for Russia to go to war with NATO.
For the Finnish operation, Russia also plans to build a new military district in the north-west and form new combat units with the deployment of ground, coastal, aviation, air defense,Missiles, artillery,Dronesand other combat units. This is a plan developed by Russia in response to Finland's accession to NATO, which is aimed at ensuring the security of Russia's borders. If NATO is deployed on the territory of FinlandMissiles, Russia will further strengthen its ownMissilesdeployment to safeguard Russia's border interests.
Tensions between Finland and Russia not only affect relations between the two countries, but also have a negative impact on the stability of the Nordic region as a whole. Northern Europe was once known as one of the most stable regions in the world, but as the dispute between Russia and NATO continues to escalate, the situation in the region has become increasingly tense. Such tensions are not in the general interest for the countries of the region.
In particular, Finland is very close to St. Petersburg, Russia's second largest city, where a large Russian population is concentrated, and Russia will deploy a large number of troops in the northwest to defend the security of St. Petersburg and other cities. This will further exacerbate pressure on Russia's borders and will also have a negative impact on the security situation in the Nordic region.

Finland's provocations andU.S. militaryThe actions deployed in the country have all had a negative impact on Russia and increased tensions in the region. At present, Russia has taken a number of measures to deal with the situation, including the construction of new military districts and the deployment of new combat units in the northwest. However, such tensions are not in the general interests of countries in the region, nor are they conducive to regional stability and peace. Therefore, all parties should take positive measures to ease tension and make efforts for regional peace and stability in line with the principle of dialogue and cooperation.
