According to “Russia Today,” Anatoli Fiborney, Vice-Chairman of the Security Affairs Committee of the Russian Duma, agreed that the deployment of NATO regulations in Finland must be seen as an indication of the alliance’s capacity to grow.
In fact, it appears to me that this should be viewed as a signal from the alliance’s leadership and the United States to the entire globe, indicating that the alliance is able to grow and that this is a way to highlight its significance.
The “NATO anti-Russian action” close to the border, he noted, “affects the global security system and breaches the core agreement of Russia and NATO inked in 1997, which includes restrictions on the deployment of NATO soldiers 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 said in response to a report by the Finnish media that the proposed legislation for Finland’s NATO membership does not impose any limitations on the establishment of military bases there, the presence of forces from the other alliance members, or the introduction of nuclear weapons onto Finnish soil.
