Finland lifts ban on nuclear weapons import and storage

The Finnish Parliament has voted to lift a nearly 40-year ban on the import and storage of nuclear weapons, with 125 deputies in favor and 61 against. The decision, reported by Bloomberg, was made against the backdrop of growing security threats. Helsinki has stated it does not plan to host nuclear weapons on a permanent basis. Finland is also considering joining French President Macron's initiative to extend French nuclear deterrence to all of Europe.
