Putin Warns of 'Problems' for Finland Following NATO Membership

Russian President Dismisses Biden's Warning of Potential Attack on NATO Country

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned Finland of 'problems' following its recent NATO membership, stating that Russia will now create the Leningrad Military District and concentrate military units near the Finnish border.
Putin dismissed US President Joe Biden's warning that Russia would attack a NATO country if it won the war in Ukraine as 'complete nonsense', stating that Russia has no interest in fighting with NATO countries.
Finland's decision to join NATO earlier this year marked a significant shift in the security landscape of Northern Europe and added approximately 830 miles to the alliance's frontier with Russia.
Finland has accused Russia of attempting to destabilize its border by manufacturing a migrant crisis, a claim that Russia denies.
Putin's comments have raised concerns among some European allies about the potential impact of a failure for NATO in the ongoing conflict in Europe.
