Finland’s president seeks nuclear deterrence on border

Finland must have a nuclear deterrent. The new President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, said this.
"Finland must have a nuclear deterrent. "NATO, of which we are a member, provides us with three deterrents: the first is the military, the second is missiles, ammunition, and the third is nuclear weapons from the United States," he said.
When asked about his views on nuclear weapons at his first news conference as president, Stubb said it would be for the Finnish government and parliament to decide if Finland wants to alter its current legislation that bans nuclear weapons on Finnish soil, including their transfer.
It should be noted that even during his candidacy, Stubb did not rule out the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of Finland if the parliament changes the legislation.
At his official inauguration in parliament, Stubb said he stood ready to oversee a new era after Finland joined NATO in response to neighbouring Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"We are now facing a new era. As a result of our military alignment and NATO membership, we have taken the final step into the Western community of values, where our republic has spiritually belonged throughout its independence," Stubb said in his address to parliament during the inauguration.
Accession to NATO was a significant step in a new direction for Finland. In the wake of the Cold War, Finland was one of the few countries in Europe not to abandon and dismantle its national defence capability to pursue a 'peace dividend.' With the country's history of invasion and experience from World War II, and its 1,340 km–long border with Russia, an awareness of proximity to possible conflict is omnipresent in Finnish culture.
