Russian President Vladimir Putin has assured that NATO enlargement to include Finland and Sweden will not pose a problem or threat to Russia, as long as this decision is not accompanied by the deployment of “military infrastructure in those areas”.

Russia has threatened Sweden with “technical-military” measures, as it did with Finland last week, if the Scandinavian country joins NATO. Moscow has assured that its response will depend “to a large extent” on the “specific conditions for Sweden’s integration into the Atlantic Alliance”. That includes, he adds, “the prospects for the deployment of that military bloc’s offensive weapons on Swedish soil.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that NATO’s expansion into Finland and Sweden is not a problem nor does it pose a threat to Russia, but if accompanied by the deployment of “military infrastructure in those areas, it will certainly provoke a response from us”.
Russia accuses Sweden of “significantly harming the security of Northern Europe and the European continent as a whole” if it joins the Atlantic Alliance.
Of the Russian government, they have emphasized that Sweden’s neutrality has been “an important factor for maintaining stability and confidence in the Baltic Sea region” for decades.
Swedish Prime Minister, Social Democrat Magdalena Andersson, announced yesterday that Sweden will formally ask to join NATO, ending two centuries of neutrality.
