Today, Zakharova spoke at a press conference about the conflict in Ukraine triggered by Russia. In her speech, she said Moscow would have to react if Finland and Sweden wanted to join NATO. She threatened with “political and military consequences.”

“The accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO, which is primarily a military alliance as you well understand, would have serious military and political consequences, which would require our country to make response steps,” said the spokesman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
