Nato drills in Finland ‘increase risk of military incidents’, Kremlin warns
Upcoming Nato exercises near its border with Finland increase the risk of “military incidents”, the Kremlin warned.
Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, told local RIA state news the drills are “provocative.”
Finland officially joined NATO earlier this month, ditching decades of non-alignment to join the military alliance in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The country shares a 1,340km (832-mile) border with Russia, so its entry, nearly two years after applying, will more than double the size of NATO’s border with the nation.
