Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev warned on Thursday that Finland is now "on Russia's nuclear target list," accusing the country of lifting the ban on hosting nuclear arms on its territory.
"Rejoice, Finland, you’ve reached peak security!" Medvedev wrote on X. In June, Finland's parliament officially voted to repeal the ban on nuclear weapons, opening the door to potentially hosting such weapons or allowing their transfer through its soil. Formerly a neutral country, Finland joined NATO in April 2023, in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine a year before, prompting a crisis in relations with Moscow, which decried the move.
Moreover, Russia deployed its own nuclear weapons in Belarus in 2023, with Minsk subsequently agreeing to host the novel Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM), which could potentially reach major European cities within minutes if launched from the country, as tensions between Russia and NATO continued to rise.
