Putin threatens Finland with new troops and weapons systems at the border. Putin has escalated tensions on the shared border since Finland joined NATO.
Now he wants to station soldiers and weapons there. New member Sweden also feels the harsher tone from Moscow. The Baltic Sea has practically become the NATO Sea. Apart from Russia itself, there are now only NATO members on its shores, who can now work together militarily and logistically much better than before. Russia is also massively arming itself and integrating itself into the NATO systems.
