The politician added that NATO, which had promised "not to expand an inch to the east," is now beefing up its military presence in Finland and wants to place nuclear weapons there. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has described Finland’s plans to allow the import of nuclear weapons into the country as a "concentrated confrontation."On April 23, the Finnish government submitted to parliament a proposal to amend the Nuclear Energy Act and the Criminal Code, which would lift the current ban on the import, manufacture, storage and use of nuclear weapons within the country.
