Kremlin officials are using misinformation narratives similar to those that Russia used to justify their large -scale invasion in Ukraine. The Institute for the Study of War in the United States (Isw) reveals that Moscow is trying this environment to justify their possible aggression against NATO countries, including Finland and Baltic countries.
In statements for a Russian magazine obtained by the middle the Russian and former secretary advisor of the Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, He affirmed that NATO “traditionally” is based on threats as its main tool in international relations. Besides, He argued that the European wing of the Alliance “persists in his policy of blocking Russia in the Baltic region.”
In this sense, I continue to declare that the United Kingdom “is orchestrating” NATO’s efforts to aggravate the situation as part of a broader strategy to interrupt conversations about Ukraine and derail the Russian-American attempts to normalize their bilateral relations.
“While Finnish authorities are hostile to Russia, the Finnish population is more cozy,” he said. In this line he accused the United Kingdom of granting Finnish authorities the freedom to do everything possible to deprive his country of his sovereignty.
Patrushev launched a threat, declaring that the Gulf of Finland has “a historical geographical affiliation with Russia” and emphasized that “It should not be forgotten that Finland was part of the Russian Empire” and that this “respected and preserved the Finnish people and their language.” “West has turned Finland again a springboard.”
According to the publication, the statements of the Russian official “are probably” part of the constant efforts of the Kremlin to open gaps between the United States and Europe, and thus weaken NATO. “Putin seems to be using the same general narrative manual that he used against Ukraine and other former Soviet statesand exploits them to create imbalances in the West, “he concludes.
