“If there is no military-political component in the Peace Treaty of Paris of 1947, then There is no basis for our resignation to historical issues To be resolved, no obstacle to raise the theme of moral responsibility of the current Finnish government for the acts of its predecessors. ”
The Russian leader suggests that Moscow can Complain new repairs Helsinchia, and recalls that The old USSR received $ 226.5 million (nearly 4 billion euros in current values) under the Treaty of Paris.

In fact, these countries are not exactly positioning military forces next to their borders with Russia, but to – to defend from a possible attack from Russia.
