Russia's imperial ambitions extend far beyond the borders of Ukraine, prompting Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen to urge the nation to prepare for the long-term and unpredictable threat. Speaking at a national defense training and preparedness program, Häkkänen emphasized that Moscow is striving to regain the spheres of influence it previously held during Soviet times.
The Finnish minister stressed the importance of strengthening the country's national defense, highlighting that this moment presents an opportunity for Nordic countries to take responsibility for their own defense. Antti Häkkänen noted that Finland recently completed the construction of a 200-kilometer barrier along its eastern border with Russia in the autumn.
