Russia has reacted angrily to the plans by Finland and
Sweden to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The intergovernmental military alliance already has 30
member states – 28 in Europe, the United States, and Canada.
On Monday, Moscow warned that the admission of the two
countries would be a grave mistake.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said there
will be far-reaching consequences.
Ryabkov added that military tensions with the two
Scandinavian nations would increase.
“They should have no illusions that we will simply resign
ourselves to this”, Interfax news agency quoted him saying.
In a chat with Finnish Head of State Sauli Niinistö,
President Vladimir Putin said his country would be making an error.
More European countries are seeking NATO membership due to
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
