Finnish President named the main thing in relations with Russia

"(In relations. -

) with the Russians, the most important thing is not to engage in subversive activities against them and not to ignore them," RIA Novosti quotes the Finnish leader.

He also mentioned the Northern Fleet, noting that Russia, within the framework of ensuring the security of the Murmansk region, is building up and strengthening its defense - including at sea.

“It is clear that the Arctic route is a strategic one, and I have no doubt that the Russians understand this very well and even use it,” Niiniste said.

In November, a meeting was held in Moscow between the adviser to the Russian president, Anton Kobyakov, and the Finnish ambassador to Russia, Antti Helantery, during which the prospects for interstate cooperation were discussed.
