Politico: Russia threatens ‘military-technical’ retaliation over Finland’s NATO bid
Kremlin press secretary says Helsinki’s move ‘threatens Russia’s security.’
Russia will respond to Finland joining NATO with “military-technical” retaliatory measures, Moscow warned Thursday.
“Finland’s accession to NATO will cause serious damage to bilateral Russian-Finnish relations,” the Russian foreign ministry wrote in a statement. The warning came in response to Finland’s leaders on Thursday officially endorsing the idea of their country joining NATO, a historic move that sets the stage for a membership application in the coming days.
“Russia will be forced to take retaliatory steps, both of a military-technical and other nature, in order to stop the threats to its national security that arise in this regard,” the Russian foreign ministry said.
