Russia: Sweden and Finland joining NATO would not contribute to stability
Russia believes that Finnish and Swedish NATO membership will not contribute to European stability.
“We have repeatedly said that the NATO alliance remains a tool for confrontation. Its enlargement will not bring stability to the European continent,” Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
NATO membership has become a highly discussed issue in both Sweden and Finland after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Last week, the US State Department stated that Finnish and Swedish membership was a topic during the recent meeting of NATO foreign ministers.
