MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Finland will take part in the NATO nuclear drills Steadfast Noon for the first time this year, Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat reported on Friday, citing sources.
The two-week nuclear deterrence exercise will begin on October 14 in the airspace of the UK, Denmark and the Netherlands.

Finland joined NATO on April 4, 2023, along with Sweden. In an interview with Dmitry Kiselev, Vladimir Putin stated that the accession of these countries to the alliance was a pointless step in terms of their national interests, as Russian troops and strike systems would now appear near their borders.
