Moscow-Sana
Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky announced that the territories of Finland and Sweden may become a possible target for the Russian armed forces if the two countries become members of NATO.
Commenting on the possibility of Finland and Sweden joining NATO soon, Polyansky was quoted by the RIA Novosti news agency as saying that "this would not be a blow to Russian security, and Moscow is ready to meet the challenges from NATO," noting at the same time that "once these two countries become members of NATO, Their territory could be a potential target for the Russian armed forces.”
Polyansky explained that if NATO units are deployed on the territory of the two countries, these territories may become a potential target for our strike, and that Finland and Sweden are aware that their accession to NATO will require certain retaliatory steps from the Russian side.
Last Wednesday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that Finland and Sweden, if they join NATO, will turn into an arena of confrontation between the alliance and Russia.
