Finland will not host NATO's nuclear weapons after joining

Finland has no intention of deploying nuclear weapons on its territory after joining NATO, Finnish President Sauli Niinistö said

Finnish public broadcaster Yle writes about it.

Niinistö added that he considers it dangerous to talk about nuclear weapons, which have become commonplace.

He noted that nuclear weapons are essential to NATO's deterrence, but the country will not host them. According to him, there is no indication that anyone is suggesting that Finland do so.

Finland's president said: "Nuclear war is unwinnable and should never happen."

We will remind you that on July 5, after the completion of the relevant negotiations, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Sweden and Finland signed protocols on joining NATO. One by one, the Allies ratified the applications of Finland and Sweden until only two remained: Turkey and Hungary. Budapest assured that they would ratify the applications by the end of the year.
