Analyst Eremina: Finland’s strategy is determined by its partners in NATO

The specialist recalled that the country’s foreign policy strategy is determined not only by Finland, but also by its European partners.

“Finland is now a NATO country, so we do not expect any changes other than tightening. And it is clear that the pre-election speeches that both candidates made were related precisely to the construction of the Iron Curtain. They said: “We want to isolate ourselves from Russia.” This was stated quite obviously,” says Eremina.

The analyst added that Finland is currently considering a bill related to the nationalization of lands owned by Russian owners and located in border areas.

“And they will do it. Because, despite the fact that Finland promised not to expand the NATO military structure, it is already being formed there. In addition, since 2017, under the auspices of the European Union, a Center for Advanced Cyber ​​Countermeasures against Russia has been created there. Moreover, Finland pays for it almost entirely from its budget; it is not even the European Union that pays for it. As Finnish experts say, in Finland the entire political establishment prays for NATO. In fact, whatever NATO says, that’s what they will do. Therefore, for us there is no difference (in presidential candidates. -

),” concluded RT’s interlocutor.

Earlier, the Ministry of Justice of Finland, after counting 100% of the ballots, reported that former Prime Minister of the Republic Alexander Stubb won in the second round of the presidential election.
