The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, warned Finland, in a message on social media X, that after it lifted the ban on hosting nuclear weapons, the country is now on Russia's list of nuclear targets.
“Finland has lifted the ban on hosting nuclear weapons. What does this change for Finns? Just one minor thing: their country is now on Russia's list of nuclear targets. Congratulations, Finland, you have reached the peak of security!” wrote Dmitry Medvedev.
This reaction came after, in June, the Finnish parliament voted with 125 votes in favor and 61 against, approving the lifting of the ban that prohibited the import and possession of nuclear weapons.
The Finnish Minister of Defense, Antti Häkkänen, emphasized that the measure is essential for national security, but assured that Finland does not intend to permanently host nuclear weapons.
