Russia's response to Finland's amendments to legislation allowing the importation, storage, and use of nuclear weapons into the country turned out to be harsh. This was announced on July 4 by the Chinese portal Baijiahao.

"Russia did not allow the Finns to relax. Her response turned out to be too harsh for Helsinki," ANB24 quotes the text of the article.

As the authors of the material noted, Russia promptly explained its position to Helsinki. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia would take political and military-technical measures in response to the actions of the Finnish authorities.

It clarifies that Zakharova's words were "unusually calm." The portal compared her to a doctor who informed the patient about his condition.

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. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, in turn, noted that after Finland lifted the ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons on its territory, it was included in the list of targets for Russian nuclear weapons.
