Finnish president denies any country will join NATO

Niinistö was one of the only presidents to have a dialogue with the Russian president in recent days. In the country, a poll conducted by the Talustutkimus Institute showed that 60% of the Finnish population supported the country’s entry into NATO.

Despite the expressive figure, the government of Finland reiterated that it has no intention of joining the organization. Russia recently said that Finland and Sweden would suffer “serious political and military consequences” if they became parties to the treaty.
