> Russia will incorporate Finland’s decision to join France’s proposed European nuclear deterrence initiative into its military planning and force development, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told TASS. He called the move unequivocally negative, saying it weakens the non-proliferation regime and regional and European security while doing nothing to improve Finland’s own security.
