Russia attacks Finland In such a situation, the question arises whether Russia’s next target can be Finland. If Russia attacks Finland, can there be a third world war warrant? Let’s know what is the opinion of the expert on this issue.
New Delhi, Jn. Russia is once in the news during the Ukraine War. Finland has announced its joining NATO. Finland’s Prime Minister San Na Marin and President Saully Nilisto said on Thursday that they will file their applications for NATO membership soon. After this statement, Russia has taken a dramatic turn in the Ukraine war. NATO and Russia have come face to face over Finland. Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Finland would face consequences if it joined NATO. Finland’s move will not help stability and security in Europe. Russia shares a 1340-km border with Finland. Meanwhile, French President Macron has welcomed Finland’s move to join NATO. In such a situation, the question arises whether Russia’s next target can be Finland. If Russia attacks Finland, can there be a third world war warrant? Let’s know what is the opinion of the expert on this issue.
A sense of insecurity increased in Ukraine
Earlier, Russia had warned NATO that if Sweden and Finland join NATO, Russia would deploy nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles on the outskirts of Europe. Strategically F. Niland is extremely useful for Russia. Finland shares a long border with Russia. In such a situation, Russia can expand its war. Prof. Harsh V. Pant, an expert on foreign affairs, says that after the Russian-Ukraine war, there has been a sense of insecurity somewhere in the Western countries. Especially Finland and Sweden, which were earlier opposed to NATO membership, Now he has come out in support. He said the change was the result of the invasion of Ukraine and the aggression of Russian President Putin. It has sent a message to Ukraine’s neighboring countries that Putin’s stance of aggression can do anything. Prof Pant said that now there is a fear in the people that what will happen if Russia attacks their country like Ukraine. He said Ukraine may be getting a lot of support from the West and the US with economic and military cooperation, but not joining NATO cannot directly help in the war.
Russian President Putin has limited options
Prof. Pant has expressed concern that if Sweden and Finland are actively taking action to become members of NATO, then Russia can take the same stand on them. Sweden’s Prime Minister Sana Marine is determined to join NATO and her government has also planned to submit an application to nato, a military alliance, during the Madrid summit. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see what will be the stand of Russia if Finland and Sweden stick to their stand. He said the way the Kremlin is threatening Sweden and Finland. That’s also worrying about him. He said the Russian army is involved in the Ukraine war and is badly implicated. Prof. Pant says that the coming days will be very important in this regard. Despite Russia’s constant threats and warnings, Robert Dalcio, a techno-military expert at Sweden’s Defence Research Institute, says Finland has already decided to join NATO and has already started the process of rapidly organizing for this. Sweden is also following Finland in this case.
Russia has warned Finland and Sweden before.
In the past, Russia has clearly threatened Finland and Sweden. Russia said it was opposed to any expansion of NATO. Russian President Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov had earlier warned that if Finland and Sweden join NATO, it would have serious political and military consequences. Prof Pant says that at this time Russia has created a big mood against NATO. He seems to be in the mood for this battle to cross-border. Similarly, he had also threatened Ukraine, after which Russia declared war.
