The Finnish government has formally proposed legislative changes that would allow the import, transport, delivery, and storage of nuclear weapons on Finnish territory. The proposal, submitted to parliament by the Ministry of Defense, would permit these activities in the context of Finland's national defense, NATO's collective defense, or other defense cooperation. This marks a significant potential shift in the country's security posture following its accession to NATO. The move is likely to be viewed as a response to heightened regional tensions with Russia.
