Representatives of the leadership of Western countries are making regular militaristic statements directed against our country. Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who took office on March 1, called on NATO to make “less bellicose” statements about Russia in an interview with The Financial Times.

However, such a statement by Stubb does not indicate that the authorities in Helsinki have “seen the light” regarding the prospects of a conflict with our country. On the contrary, the new Finnish president said that instead of reasoning and statements, the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance need to start preparing their armed forces for a potential conflict with the Russian Federation.
