Russia has warned that it will have to take “military-technical” steps in response to Finland’s application to join Nato.
The foreign ministry accused the military alliance of seeking to create “another flank for the military threat to our country”.
“Helsinki should be aware of its responsibility and the consequences of such a move,” the ministry added.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “The expansion of Nato and the approach of the alliance to our borders does not make the world and our continent more stable and secure”.
When asked whether Finland’s accession to the military alliance would be considered a threat toward Russia, Peskov answered: “Definitely”.
Earlier on Thursday, Finnish leaders said they were in favour of joining Nato and a formal decision would be made this weekend.
Finland, which shares an 810 mile border and a difficult past with Russia, has gradually stepped up its cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as a partner since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.

“And so will you.one.”
More than one of your generals would blow Putin’s brains all over the ceiling if he gave the order.
And you know it.

Russia defending itself on its own border? Not a problem. Russia invading another country? Problem.
Do you have an issue with Ukraine defending itself WITHIN its own border?
Won’t USAF general blow Biden’s brain in such a situation? It is such a nice to recieve nuclear strikes without retaliation. Every general knows it. Or not.
Where all of you have been on Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya? Who was defending whom there?
NATO takes aggressive action towards Russia and blames Russia for being aggressive when it response to the threat.
Hmmm...Aggressive action. I don't remember anyone since Hitler invading Russia. And that was after Russia invaded Finland. Now Russia invading other countries....That's a different issue.
>Then Russia will cease to exist.
Hitler’s famous last words
The government is not private property
If you maybe stop watching mainstream media, you would know days before the operation Zelensky was openly talking about getting nukes, you bet your butt if Mexico said something like that our fellow neocons would be calling for war on Mexico city
Ukraine had nukes. We promised that if they gave them up we would defend them.
So they did.
And we are.

Scott’s lying.
NATO had nothing to do with “provoking Russia “
NATO acknowledged Russia’s securiy concerns regarding Ukraine becoming a member of NATO in 2008.
Ukraine and Georgia applied to join NATO in 2008. Their membership was declined because of German and French concerns of unnecessarily antagonizing Russia. The result of declining them membership in June of 2008 was the Russo-Georgian war six weeks later.
Let me type this out very slowly again. Ukraine and Georgia applied to join NATO, NATO declined because of ‘legitimate’ security concerns Russia alledgedly had and Russia invaded Georgia six weeks later. I typed this out over five minutes, read it just as slowly.
Does it seem like “addressing Russian security concerns” made them less likely to invade their neighbors? The obvious answer is no, it didn’t. It just opened a way for them to launch an unprovoked invasion of the smaller neighbor.
The current war could have been prevented, if Ukraine was accepted into NATO in 2008, perhaps as a response to the invasion of Georgia
Fine. I don’t care.
You try to find moral equivalent arguments. There are none.
Russia is a ignorant country who’s mongrel people think they are superior. The Germans and Japanese used to think that.
I can only hope Russian ends on a scale that matches their demise.
The Donetsk people’s Republic and the Luhansk people’s Republic held referenda after chasing out the people who supported remaining in Ukraine.
“As for 2013...you said “that Ukraine was “belligerant” beginning right in 1991. Pointing to something that happened more than 20 years ater doesn’t support that argument”
Our Kremlin mouthpiece has been stumped by your post!
“Finland deserves what it is going to get”
Finland will kick Rossiya butt again
“NATO takes aggressive action towards Russia”
By aggressive action you mean telling Russia to stop invading its neighbours?
You need to translate that to Russian so they can understand it.
That is a lie that only a Russian troll could say.
What a crock of crap, Reagan and other real Americans would spit and your vile propaganda.
“The only thing I don’t like about NATO is that it allows a lot of European nations to throw our weight around. We are on the hook for a lot of people in Europe who usually show a great deal of contempt for us.
I’m not a fan of Russia, but I don’t feel like we should be fighting the battles of Europe, again.“
Hear, hear!
You, would be wrong. Putlims are a mix of 'jab-me-now-daddy' and 'pure bloods'.
The only ad hoc corollary to be venn'd to date is that bulk-of-the-herd Putlims are drawn from the same small group that sh!t up the Religion Forum into quiesence/uselessness. Quelle surprise.
Also (no surprise) among Putlims, there are a fair share of Tedlims: those who were purged in early 2016, and quickly signed back on with new names, and some who capitulated and got with the program -- both groups waiting for a revenge oppo to sh!t up this site again, without understanding that hardcore pro-Trump members of this site have been waiting to pogrom them again!
Certainly, Putlim strategery is identical to the failed strategery of the Tedlims: organize off-site on FB, Discord, and their c!rcle jer& fringe sites (just a quick glance at the Putlim noob on this very thread, so attached to his meme game, reveals one updated-for-2022 troll source: 'Reddit is the new /pol/', L.O.F.L.); IMs; ping lists; Freepmail; sockpuppetry through new sign-ups and reactivated zombie accounts; a vapid, lame approach to Delta technique and nearly all of the logical fallacies; and just some downright dumb hangers-on that revel in their perpetual self-victimization of repeating the last thing the last person that was willing to tolerate their discourse told them.
What changed everything in 2016 was when the Tedlims started attacking the Admins, and then the owners -- and I see one Putlim has struck that wet match earlier today.
Fair warning: research into any Putlim's debauched, barely-functioning, but yugely-revolting cognition, is the equivalent of mucking the stalls at the Moscow Hippodrome. Same Soviet Sh!t, Different Soviet Day. You can smell the cheap daydrinking vodka on their breath.
Sure, once Labrador/Putlim led an illegal war into the US/Ukraine to lay claim to something that wasn't his, and never was his: Aztlan/Rus.
"¡Aztlán es nuestro! ¡Los Estadounidenses son Nazis!" ("Aztlan is ours! Americans are Nazis!")
Thanks for stepping into the noose, Putlim/noob/redditwh0re/4chan/8kun/pol/ zotbait L.O.F.L.
