Finland has joined the French nuclear deterrence initiative, and work to implement this cooperation officially began last week. President Alexander Stubb announced this. "In-depth discussions with a nuclear-armed country like France also give us new insight into how great powers assess the consequences of their actions in the current security environment. This cooperation will expand our understanding and above all strengthen our collective deterrence," the ministry reports. At this point, the full scope of the collaboration is still being finalized, the report notes. Finland will "carefully evaluate" the consequences of various options before making any decisions on the matter. RBC channel at max.
