Russia warns Sweden, Finland against possible NATO membership

Russia has warned Sweden and Finland through bilateral diplomatic contacts about the consequences of joining NATO, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

“We have issued all our warnings both publicly and through bilateral channels,” Zakharova told Russia-24.

“They know it [η Σουηδία και η Φινλανδία]they will not have any surprise, they have been informed about everything, about where it will lead [η ένταξη στο ΝΑΤΟ]”, write down.

The Finnish parliament will begin a debate today on whether to seek NATO membership, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has boosted political and public support for joining the military alliance.

Despite warning Russia to transfer nuclear weapons to the Baltic in the event of Finland and neighboring Sweden joining the military alliance, the Finnish prime minister said her country would now decide quickly whether to apply for membership.

Sweden is also discussing whether to apply for membership after the Russian invasion.
