Finland says it ‘makes no sense’ for Russia to risk attack on a Nato nation

Finland's President Alexander Stubb expressed skepticism about the likelihood of Russia attacking a NATO member state, stating it would 'make no sense' given the alliance's overwhelming military capabilities. In an interview with Germany's Bild newspaper, Stubb dismissed warnings from Western officials about potential Russian hybrid attacks leading to direct confrontation with NATO. He emphasized that Russia lacks the capability to challenge NATO militarily and noted that Finland joined NATO in 2023 after shifting away from its previous policy of neutrality following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Stubb argued that NATO's strength in conventional, missile, and nuclear weapons makes such an attack highly improbable.
