Finland, Sweden brush off Moscow's warning on joining NATO
FILE - In this photo released by the Russian Foreign Ministry Press Service, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova speaks during the briefing about foreign policy in Moscow, Russia, Jan. 20, 2022. As the U.S. and other NATO members warn of the potential for a devastating war, Russia is not countering with bombs or olive branches - but with sarcasm.
Haavisto’s words were echoed by the Finnish President Sauli Niinisto who said on Friday that he didn’t see the statement meaning Moscow was threatening Finland militarily but rather what kind of “countersteps” Russia would take should Finland join NATO. In Sweden, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson addressed Moscow’s statement in a joint news conference Friday with Sweden’s military commander Micael Byden.
“It’s obvious that if Finland and Sweden join NATO, which is first of all a military organization, it will entail serious military-political consequences, which would require retaliatory steps by the Russian Federation,” Zakharova said at a news briefing Friday.
