Western countries “should not have the illusion that we will just tolerate it,” Moscow said.
The level of military tension will increase after Finland and Sweden join NATO, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.
“The situation, of course, is changing radically in light of what is happening. The fact that the security of Sweden, like Finland, in that regard, will not be strengthened as a result of this decision, is completely obvious to us. .The overall level of military tension will increase, the predictability in this area will be lower.In what form we will ensure our security after this change in the general arrangement of NATO is a separate question.It depends on whether what, in practical terms, will be the result of the expected accession of Finland and Sweden to the North Atlantic alliance.There are no illusions that we will be together they should not have any illusions that we will just tolerate it, it must be understood of Brussels, Washington and other NATO capitals, ”he said.
Ryabkov called the decision of Finland and Sweden to join the alliance a mistake.
According to Swedish authorities, the process of joining NATO could take almost a year.
