Finland warns: Russia will move army towards NATO borders

Finland's prime minister has warned that if a peace deal is reached in Ukraine, Russia will move its military forces towards NATO's eastern borders.

He called on European countries to provide more financial support for the protection of states on the front lines of danger, the Financial Times reports.

Petteri Orpo emphasized that eastern European Union countries are significantly increasing defense spending and are bearing the main burden of aid to Ukraine, even though their economies are under pressure.

According to him, Russia remains a threat even after the war is over and will bring military forces closer to the borders of Finland and the Baltic states. For this reason, he is seeking direct financial support from Brussels.

Orpo will host a first meeting of the Eastern Border Countries, involving eight countries that share land or maritime borders with Russia and Belarus. The aim of the meeting is to cooperate on joint military capabilities, such as air defense, unmanned aerial vehicles and ground forces, as well as to facilitate the movement of troops and weapons across Europe.

Several NATO countries have warned that Russia could be ready for a major confrontation with the alliance within 3 to 5 years after the end of the war in Ukraine. Estonia, Lithuania and Poland are expected to spend more than 5% of their national output on defense next year, more than the target set by the United States.

According to Orpos, Europe must be prepared to defend itself, as the United States is expected to reduce its engagement on the continent due to other security challenges.

Finland is one of the few countries that has not lowered its vigilance towards Russia.

It has maintained strong preparedness measures, such as shelters for the population, large reserves of essential materials, and ongoing training of citizens. However, the country is facing major economic difficulties after more than 10 years of recession, which has forced the government to cut public spending.

Orpo says the economic situation is dire and that the insecurity caused by Russia has significantly affected the life of the country. According to him, the frontline countries are not only demanding unused defense funds, but also a large part of the money that the European Union has planned for security in the upcoming budget.

He expresses concern that a peace agreement could lead some countries further from the eastern border to mistakenly think that the danger has passed.

According to him, Europe is facing a crucial week, where it must show that it is capable not only of talking, but also of acting, as European leaders gather to decide on financial support for Ukraine.

According to him, if a decision is not made for financial assistance, the consequences could be very serious.

"I don't even want to think about that scenario," Orpo declared, adding that Europe has no other alternatives.
