Finland said on Friday a Russian state aircraft is suspected of having violated its airspace, followed by a cyber attack on the websites of Finland’s foreign and defence ministries, as well as some other government services. The events coincided with a webcast speech to Finnish lawmakers by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The government is due to send a white paper to parliament on its changed security environment next week, launching a formal process that would be finalised by the end of June, according to Prime Minister Sanna Marin. While Marin and President Sauli Niinisto have steered clear of giving a clear endorsement to the Nato entry, speculation is growing among pundits and media that other options are less likely by now. Almost half of all lawmakers now openly support an application.
