Given the transition of neighboring Finland to NATO, Russia will have to significantly strengthen the border by regrouping troops.

Axar.az reports the statement came from Major General of the Ukrainian Army Viktor Yagun.

"If they do not, then there is no need to raise the rhetoric about the possibility of missile strikes from Kharkiv to Moscow. This distance from Finland to Moscow is closer, ” he said.

According to the general, the Russians should be afraid of Finland, because it has a large army ready for battle:

"Everyone knows how Stalin's desire to seize Finland ended. It did not end there, on the contrary, they got their share. Given that the United States and the United Kingdom have signed an agreement on the possible protection of Finland and Sweden from Russia, the process of joining NATO will be completed by the fall. In this regard, Russia will face a big problem in the fall, " Yagun said.
