After Finland lifted the ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons on its territory, it entered the list of targets for Russian nuclear weapons. This was announced on July 2 by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

"Finland has lifted the ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons on its territory. What does this change for the Finns? Just one minor change: their country is now on Russia's list of nuclear targets," the report says in X (former. Twitter).

On June 17, the Finnish Parliament approved legislative amendments that lift the current ban on the import, manufacture, storage and use of nuclear weapons on the territory of the state.

The Russian Embassy in Helsinki stressed that changing Finnish legislation on nuclear weapons would contribute to escalating tensions and worsening the security situation in the Baltic-Arctic region.
