The President of the United States, Donald Trump, addressed the strengthening of Russian forces at the border with Finland and Norway. During the announcement concerning the missile defence shield "Golden Dome," he stated that he does not see this as a threat to the security of both countries.
According to the "New York Times," the latest satellite images show the expansion of Russian military bases at the border with Finland. These images, confirmed by NATO officials, indicate the construction of new storage facilities and renovations of fighter shelters.
Russia's long-term strategy
Experts cited by the "NYT" suggest that Russia's actions may be part of a long-term strategy. Although they do not resemble preparations for an invasion, as in the case of Ukraine, they may indicate greater expansion in the future.
The observed Russian activities at the border with Finland indicate that this is where the Kremlin will redeploy part of its forces after the end of the war in Ukraine. Finland expects the number of Russian soldiers in this area to triple within just a few years.
NATO is closely monitoring developments at the border with Finland and Norway. Satellite images and other intelligence data are being analysed to assess potential threats to the region's security.
