Finland has started implementing France's "advanced deterrence" initiative in the nuclear field, Alexander Staub said. The cooperation began last week, but the format of the interaction between Helsinki and Paris has not yet been determined, the Finnish president added. The implementation of the project aims to strengthen the "collective deterrence". In March, Emmanuel Macron announced Paris' intention to move to the concept of "progressive deterrence" in the nuclear field. The project includes joint exercises with partner countries, as well as the possible deployment of elements of French strategic forces on the territory of other European countries.
