The Finnish government has submitted to Parliament a proposal to allow the import and storage of nuclear weapons for the country's defense. This was announced on April 23 by the Finnish Ministry of Defense.

"The government proposes to remove legal barriers to the import of nuclear devices into Finland, as well as to their transportation, supply or storage in Finland in the context of Finnish defense," the ministry said in a statement on its website.

At the same time, the acquisition, production, development and research of nuclear weapons in the country will still be prohibited. It is noted that this decision is aimed at ensuring defense within the framework of cooperation with NATO.
