Finland’s Response to Russian Attack on Finland
This article is a sequel to my previously published article on a medium called Russia and China Coordinated Attack on Finland. This article will summarise Finland’s actions to counter Russian aggression.
I must be clear that what the Russians are doing is weaponising the migration crisis caused by the Ukraine war and directing refugees towards the Finnish border.
Also, refugees from the Russian Federation directly, which number 1 million souls.
What the Russian Federation is doing is hostile action using indirect means.
Any direct action by the Russian Federation would trigger Article 5, which provides that if a NATO Ally is the victim of an armed attack, every other member of the Alliance.
Will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked.
Geopolitics and International Law
What the Russians are trying to do to Finland is to punish them for joining NATO, which happened on 4 April 2023, and then Sweden joined on 18 May 2022.
These two nations joining the NATO alliance are severely threatened.
