HELSINKI – Finland will place a key Nato base less than 200 kilometres from its border with Russia, “sending a message” to its eastern neighbour, the defence ministry said on Sept 27.
Finland became a Nato member in 2023, dropping decades of military non-alignment after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Defence Minister Antti Hakkanen said Nato’s new headquarters for the Northern European land command unit will be in Mikkeli, one of the closest cities to Finland’s 1,340km border with Russia.

Good. Maybe it will keep more RU “soldiers” away from the frontlines of the Ukraine. Putler needs to be stopped.

This is brilliant.
The whole reason for the invasion in Ukraine was to prevent the construction of nato bases near the borders of Russia, this helps undermine the entire reasoning.

Yes! Put a giant concrete middlefinger there too so the russians can see it from a long way.
Maybe put a machinegun position at the tip just for fun!

Good now Russia needs to establish bases in Guanajay, Cuba and have talks with Mexico about bases with nuclear weapons. Also surround USA with ships. It’s the same right? Surely USA won’t have any problems with that.
