High likely that Finland will join Nato, says Finland Europe minister

Finland high likely will join Nato

Finland's Europe minister Tytti Tuppurainen said in an interview with Sky News that a "huge majority" of people in Finland are supportive of the country's Nato membership, Qazet.az reports.

She said a decision has not been made and the issue will be discussed in parliament, but it is "highly likely" that Finland will join the alliance.

Tuppurainen said Russia's actions against Ukraine have been "brutal" and the war is "a wake-up call" to the world.

He also added: "So, whatever Russia is saying, we of course are hearing that, but we are doing our own decisions based on our interests, and on our conditions, our consideration of the overall situation."
