Russia takes steps to send atomic weapons to the Baltic Sea on the off chance that Finland and Sweden join NATO
Russia has cautioned NATO that in the event that Sweden and Finland joined the tactical partnership, the Kremlin would need to reinforce its atomic protections in the Baltic.
'There can be no more talk of any nuclear-free status for the Baltic - the balance must be restored,' said Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council.
'Naturally, we will have to reinforce these borders. Until today, Russia has not taken such measures and was not going to. If our hand is forced well... take note it wasn't us who proposed this.
The previous president added Russia would 'truly build up its gathering of ground powers and air safeguards and send huge maritime powers in the Gulf of Finland.'
The danger comes after Sweden and Finland edged nearer to NATO participation yesterday, and their application offers could be submitted in weeks
Sweden's state leader Magdalena Andersson is perceived to be enthusiastic for the country to join the transoceanic union by June, to the wrath of Vladimir Putin who attacked Ukraine to a limited extent for its longing to join the settlement.
Kremlin representative Dmitry Peskov got some information about the remarks by columnists, said that 'this has been discussed commonly's and Putin has given a request on 'building up our western flank' because of NATO's developing military potential.
Inquired as to whether this support would incorporate atomic weapons, Peskov said 'I can't say... There will be a whole list of measures and necessary steps. This will be covered at a separate meeting by the president.'
The Swedish application is supposed to be presented at the NATO meeting in Madrid on June 29-20, Swedish reports said yesterday.
Essentially, Finland is expecting to begin its application interaction 'inside the space of weeks, not in practically no time, its state head Sanna Marin said.
