One of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest allies warned NATO on Thursday that if Sweden and Finland joined the US-led military alliance then Russia would deploy nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles in a European exclave.

Finland, which shares a 1 300-km border with Russia, and Sweden are considering joining the NATO alliance.Finland, which shares a 1 300-km border with Russia, and Sweden are considering joining the NATO alliance.

“There can be no more talk of any nuclear free status for the Baltic – the balance must be restored,” said Medvedev, who was Russian president from 2008 to 2012. “Without speaking to any countries in particular, we would not be concerned that the expansion of a defensive alliance would do anything other than promote stability on the European continent,” Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a briefing.

Finland gained independence from Russia in 1917 and fought two wars against it during World War Two during which it lost some territory. The Iskander, known as SS-26 Stone by NATO, is a short-range tactical ballistic missile system that can carry nuclear warheads.“No sane person wants higher prices and higher taxes,increased tensions along borders, Iskanders, hypersonics and ships with nuclear weapons literally at arm’s length from their own home,” Medvedev said.

The majority of people in Finland and Sweden want to join NATO. That was not the case before the war in Ukraine. Putin can only blame himself. Baltic countries and Poland are already members of NATO as well as Norway and Denmark.

It's about time NATO sucks

SABC is a disgrace by sniffing and swallowing propaganda, Medvedev was a former President in Russia, this statement is from him, and what makes SABC to try to hide this well known source is very strange. Lazy journalists will publish anything trash...
