#北约秘书长: Finland is welcome to apply for NATO ##俄警告北约: Continuous military assistance to Ukraine increases the risk of nuclear conflict #
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has lasted for more than seventy days, and looking back at Russian-Ukrainian relations in recent years, we can find that NATO's eastward expansion is one of the triggers of this conflict. However, the NATO military bloc headed by the United States has not been able to learn any lessons from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but has intensified its efforts to speed up the process of NATO's eastward expansion, trying to achieve a "strategic encirclement" of Russia and put a new shackle on Russia's neck.

According to the Observer Network reported on May 12, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marlene and Finnish President Niinistö issued a joint statement expressing support for Finland's application to join NATO. Finland's accession to NATO will follow the original process, and the next step will be for the Finnish Parliament to discuss and vote on whether to join NATO. According to previous reports, Finland will join NATO with its western neighbor Sweden. The two countries are expected to join hands in June on a formal decision on whether to join NATO.
Regarding the movements of NATO and Finland, Russian Presidential Spokesman Peskov warned that Finland's accession to NATO would pose an "absolute" threat to Russia, and the Russian side would assess the consequences for Russia's security. Medvedev, vice chairman of the Russian Federal Security Council, also warned that once a conflict breaks out between Russia and NATO, there is a risk of turning into a nuclear conflict, requiring NATO to "think twice."

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has not yet been resolved, and the NATO bloc has tried to join hands with Finland and Sweden, which are "neutral countries", to "open a new table". As a land neighbor on Russia's northwestern border, Finland's accession is bound to cause great strategic pressure on Russia. In the face of nato's pressing, the Russian side can never turn a blind eye. The Russian Foreign Ministry has also made a serious warning to nato that Russia will have to resort to technical military or other means to eliminate the threat posed by Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
(As can be seen in the map, Finland has a long border with Russia, and St. Petersburg is close to Finland.)
Finland is located in the northwest of Russia, the two countries directly border, the border line is more than 1,300 kilometers. Finland's accession to NATO poses no less of a threat to Russia's national security than Ukraine's accession to NATO. And Russia's second largest city, an important transportation hub and economic and cultural center, St. Petersburg, less than two hundred kilometers from the Finnish border, once Finland successfully "surrendered to the north", St. Petersburg will be included in the scope of conventional firepower by NATO, which is also a great provocation to Russia.

The Russian side can never sit idly by and ignore NATO's provocations, and Kaliningrad, a Russian "enclave" on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea, will become a forward position in the counterattack against NATO. Kaliningrad is located between Poland and Lithuania, more than 700 kilometers away from the Russian mainland, but only more than 400 kilometers away from Germany, which can be called a dagger inserted by Russia in NATO's body.
On the eve of the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian army has deployed the "Iskander M" medium-range ballistic missile and the hypersonic missile codenamed "Dagger" here, and if NATO continues to expand, russia will definitely strengthen the deployment of weapons in Kaliningrad, and even do not rule out the possibility of deploying tactical nuclear weapons. At that time, these NATO countries will also experience the threat to Russia's national security.

Finland, Sweden and other countries in Northern Europe have always been famous for their beautiful environment, economic prosperity and people's living standards. It is really puzzling that this time we are actively participating in the military and political confrontation between major powers. Finland and other countries should respect their identity and put themselves in the right position, and not become nato's "pawns" in encircling Russia, otherwise they will burn themselves, Ukraine is a lesson for the past, once the war ignites the peaceful life of its people will be broken, and these NATO politicians will become the sinners of the people and the sinners of history.
