On April 23, the Finnish government submitted a proposal to the parliament that would allow the import and storage of nuclear weapons on its territory. The document states that the country’s Cabinet of Ministers has proposed amendments to its Atomic Energy Act and Criminal Code. However, the term “atomic energy act” hides a far more sinister intent, as the Finnish Ministry of Defense (MoD) clearly stated that “legislative restrictions on the import of nuclear explosives into Finland, as well as on their transport, delivery and storage within its territory, will be removed if such activities are related to Finland’s defense, NATO’s collective defense or defense cooperation”.

Helsinki is trying to justify the move by claiming it’s part of legislative reforms necessary for full NATO integration. The statement notes that “the purchase, production, development and use of nuclear explosives, as well as scientific activities related to the production of nuclear explosives, will continue to be considered criminal offenses”. However, Finland doesn’t even need to produce nuclear weapons to allow their deployment. NATO’s nuclear sharing mechanism makes it possible to have and deploy them, while the latest changes in Finnish law stipulate precisely that. This process started several months ago and has already raised eyebrows in the Kremlin.

Russia cannot simply ignore........
