Military intelligence does not consider a likely direct military threat from Russia to Finland this year, as Russian troops are engaged in Ukraine.

Then, as the development of Russia’s armed forces moves forward, its ability to wage war in the direction of Finland will be greatly improved, according to military intelligence.

We will remind:

• January 21 on the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea there was a large-scale blackout power supply after the submarine cable that connected the island to Sweden was disabled.
• In recent years, the Baltic Sea has a series of suspicious incidents with damage to communication and power cables.
• After these incidents, a number of NATO countries launched Baltic Sentry missionwhich patrols the most important areas of the Baltic Sea to protect the underwater infrastructure.
