Russia condemns Finland's nuclear weapons plan

The Finnish government has submitted a proposal to parliament to allow the import and storage of nuclear weapons on Finnish territory, a move the country's Defense Ministry says is to ensure its defense as a NATO member. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has sharply criticized the plan, labeling it a 'concentrated expression' of confrontation. Peskov stated, 'This is confrontation, and that is how it should be understood. Moreover, it is confrontation in a concentrated expression.' The proposal represents a significant shift in Finland's defense posture following its accession to NATO.
