Venemaa välisministeeriumi esindaja Maria Zahharova ütles, et kui Soome ja Rootsi liituvad NATO-ga, siis saab neist uus eesliin NATO ja Venemaa vastasseisus.

Zahharova märkis, et see omakorda vähendab rahu ja stabiilsust Põhja-Euroopas.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that if Sweden and Finland join the bloc, they will turn into a new frontier of confrontation between NATO and Russia, and “the negative consequences for peace and stability in Northern Europe are obvious.”
