Head of SUPO: Finland surprised by Russia's position on the country's prospects for NATO membership

“So far, everything is quite calm and let's hope that everything will remain so.

It's good that nothing happens.

The positive moment also lies in the fact that we are ready and able to protect our society, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

At the same time, the head of Finnish intelligence did not specify what kind of reaction Helsinki expected from Moscow regarding Finland's desire to join NATO.

“They are interested in what kind of member of the North Atlantic Alliance Finland will become if this happens,” Pelttari suggested.

Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland stated that the membership of Finland and Sweden in the North Atlantic Alliance could not be agreed upon by the summit in Madrid, which is to be held on June 28-29.

Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto said in an interview with Corriere della Sera that it is difficult to make predictions about the timing of the country's accession to NATO.
