PoliticsFinland joins French nuclear deterrence initiative amid Russian and US uncertainty

Finland has agreed to join France’s Forward Deterrence Initiative, becoming the 10th European country to do so and extending the French nuclear deterrent’s coverage to 11 countries. Helsinki says the move strengthens European security but does not replace NATO’s nuclear deterrence, and Finland will not host nuclear weapons in peacetime.
