Russia now threatening European NATO country ‘in same way it targeted Ukraine before invasion’

# A group of leading analysts suggests the Kremlin has launched a “coordinated information” campaign targeting another of its neighbouring countries that echoes of the rhetoric employed before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Institute for the Study of War says senior figures in Moscow, including members of Vladimir Putin’s inner circle, have been making a series of statements designed to threaten Finland. Finland shares an 833-mile border with Russia and abandoned its longstanding policy of neutrality in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and joined NATO in 2023.
