Finland's parliament has voted to lift its long-standing ban on nuclear weapons, permitting their potential storage and transport on Finnish territory under NATO defence arrangements. The move, reported by Euronews, aligns Finland more closely with NATO's nuclear deterrence policy following the country's accession to the alliance in 2023. This marks a significant shift in Finland's defense posture, which had previously maintained a strict prohibition on nuclear weapons.
