Russia has started setting up its military bases near the border with Finland, reports Yle, which also published photos showing the changes.
Satellite images show built hangars for maintenance and storage of equipment on the territory of the Alakurtti garrison and the Petrozavodsk military warehouse.
As the publication notes, more and more equipment from Petrozavodsk is being transferred to Ukraine.
At the same time, the material says, these construction projects are the first tangible sign that the Russian Federation has again started investing in military bases near the Finnish border after many years.
According to Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen, the changes recorded in the satellite images do not pose a threat to Finland.
According to retired Finnish Army Major Marco Eklund, the priority task of military personnel in Petrozavodsk is probably the re-equipment and supply of equipment to the Ukrainian front.
“I think that the hangar built there is a repair. That is, it is a covered room during the autumn-winter cold weather, so that the equipment can be serviced,” he noted.
After Finland joined NATO, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced plans to strengthen its armed forces near the Finnish border.
We remind you that Finland previously announced the provision of the 18th package of military aid to Ukraine.
