“Putin is a wounded wolf and a danger” .. Sweden and Finland’s request to join NATO provokes an interaction

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Activists on social media reacted to reports of Finland and Sweden’s request to join NATO and the timing of this move, amid the continuing military operations that Russia is waging in Ukraine.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Monday, hours following Sweden announced that it would apply to join NATO, that “the Russian Federation will be forced to take retaliatory steps, whether of a military-technical or other nature, in order to stop threats to its national security arising in this connection.”

For his part, the Russian president said that his country has no problems with Finland and Sweden, and their accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) would not pose a threat to his country, but the alliance’s military expansion would provoke a response.

As for the expansion of NATO, including through the new members of the alliance, namely Finland and Sweden – Russia has no problems with these countries. Therefore, in this sense, the expansion is at the expense of NATO, Putin said, at the Summit of the Collective Security Treaty Organization in Moscow, on Monday. These countries do not pose a direct threat to Russia.” “But the expansion of the military infrastructure in this region will certainly lead to our response,” he added.
