The implementation of NATO regulations in Finland must be seen as a sign of the alliance’s capacity to grow, according to Anatoli Fiborney, vice-chairman of the Russian Duma’s Security Affairs Committee.
“In fact, it seems to me that this must be considered a sign from the leadership of the alliance and the United States on his head to the whole world, that the alliance is able to expand, and this is a kind of review of the ability to work and emphasize its influence. “.
He pointed out that “NATO anti -Russia activity” near the border “affects the global security system and violates the basic agreement of Russia and NATO signed in 1997, which includes restrictions on the deployment of NATO forces in Eastern and Central Europe. ”
“The alliance violates international standards by escalating tensions and destabilise the planet,” he continued.
Russia will react appropriately to any aggressive actions taken by NATO, and this reaction will be tied to the development of its armed forces in the Baltic states.”
He went on: “There is no doubt in my mind that Russia will protect its interests. In light of Finland’s ambitions, Russia must be prepared to exacerbate the situation. But despite this there is still a possibility for reasonable settlement.
” This was commented on a report by the Finnish media that the draft law on the accession of Finland to NATO does not include any restrictions on the deployment of military bases in the country, as well as the presence of forces from the alliance countries or the introduction of nuclear weapons into its territory.
