Russia warns Finland is NATO's forward base

Russia's ambassador to Finland, Pavel Kuznetsov, has issued a stark warning, stating that Finland is being turned into a forward base in the confrontation between NATO and Russia. He argued that the current Finnish leadership's 'reckless desire' to serve this role is unlikely to serve the security interests of the Finnish people. This statement follows his previous accusation that NATO is using Finnish territory as a testing ground for conflict scenarios with Russia.
