[Archyde.com]-Finland’s Prime Minister Marin has no plans to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the near future on the 19th, but if Russia attacks Ukraine, it will keep pace with its European allies and the United States. He also said that he would impose strict sanctions.

“The sanctions will have a fairly substantial impact and will be extremely severe,” the Prime Minister said in an interview with Archyde.com.

On the other hand, Finland is very unlikely to apply for NATO membership during his term.

Finland borders Russia for regarding 1340 km and has a difficult historical relationship throughout the Soviet-Russian era, including the conflict during World War II, but it does not join NATO and only cooperates.

President Biden requested Finnish President Sauli Niinistö to meet for the second time in a month on the 18th. He called for discussions on “the importance of a close defense partnership between Finland and the United States and NATO.”
