The Finnish Defense Forces have raised their readiness level by one point. According to Yle, the reason for these actions was not disclosed.
According to the site, this is not associated with any threat to the country, but means increased security and increased attention of the military regarding what is happening around. Colonel Torsti Astren clarified to the publication that the situation in the territories bordering Finland is stable.
Earlier, Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto said that the country retains the right to apply for NATO membership depending on the situation. Haavisto stressed that when making decisions, the real situation is always taken into account, taking into account the changes that are taking place in the field of security in the international context.
In January, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said the Finnish government was not considering joining NATO any time soon. Prior to this, Haavisto spoke out with a refutation of plans to join the alliance. According to him, Helsinki has no plans to change course in international politics.
