Pistorius on a delicate trip to the north: Minister at Norway's border with Russia. The Scandinavian tour ends with a visit to Finland.
The countries share a border that is approximately 1,300 kilometers long. In December, Putin announced the deployment of 2023 military forces to the Finland border. The country is clearly feeling the threat from Russia's war in Ukraine. Germany will not allow itself to be “scared away or driven apart” by the “hybrid attack” from Russia, Pistorius reiterated.
