The intense attacks of Ukrainian drones on Russian targets over the Gulf of Finland are evidence that the war is truly happening in our immediate neighbourhood and is spreading all the time," said Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo.
The head of the Finnish government commented on Wednesday's biggest strikes since the beginning of the war of Ukrainian drones into Russian targets over the Gulf of Finland, including Wyborg, about 25 km from the border with Finland, and targeted in peculiar at Russian port infrastructure. In the area of St. Petersburg, Ukraine carried out attacks on Russian oil key sea terminals in Primorsk and Ust-Luga.
According to the Prime Minister, Helsinki's position is that Ukraine should receive military support to the degree that Russia considers that it must cease its military activities.
The head of the Defence Ministry, Antti Hakkanen, assured that Finland is presently not facing any military threat and that the situation in the region is being monitored.
