芬兰是下个目标?俄国恐吓:加入北约将面临严重后果
俄国对乌克兰发动全面侵略,令周边国家戒慎恐惧,也让包括芬兰等国家思考加入北大西洋公约组织(NATO)的可能性。此现象引起俄国强烈不满,直接威胁芬兰若是加入北约,将面临军事和政治上的严重后果。
《CNBC》报导,芬兰总理马林(Sanna Marin)当地时间周四表示,俄罗斯对乌克兰的全面侵略,将会使芬兰是否加入北约的长期辩论产生改变,“芬兰目前没有受到迫切的军事威胁。但现在情势很明瞭,是否加入北约的辩论将出现变化。” 此外,瑞典也响应了加入北约的号召。
俄总统普京强调,对乌克兰的军事行动为的是要其彻底远离北大西洋公约组织(NATO)维持中立化,因此,芬兰与瑞典的表态让俄国大为光火。外交事务部发言人札哈罗娃(Maria Zakharova)周五警告,“我们视芬兰政府的军事不结盟政策为确保北欧安全和稳定的重要因素”、“芬兰加入北约将会面临严重的军事、政治后果”。

Finnish demonstrators singing today at Russian Embassy in Helsinki, a patriotic Finlandia Hymn that was written during a russification period of Finland by Jean Sibelius at the beginning of the 20th century.

Tens of thousands took the streets of #Helsinki today to denounce Putin’s war on Ukraine. Throughout my 1,5 year in Helsinki I have never seen anything like that - RU embassy premisses, squares, main streets, local shops all fly the flag or message of Ukraine #venajaulos pic.twitter.com/HfLhELWs4b

The reason Finland wants to join NATO is because your crime family regime keeps launching wars of aggression on its neighbors. This is why the civilized world hates you. *****0nSEgqWnJO
