Defense/ Finland
Finland has further distanced itself from a standing Russian offer to
develop a defense-industrial relationship following Defense Minister Carl
Haglund's remarks that Russian fighter aircraft technologies are
"untrustworthy."
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu presented the collaboration invite
to Finland in mid-2013 in a clear attempt to soften the country's growing
interest in moving toward NATO membership. Furthermore, the Kremlin suggested
that Finland could join a Russian-led NATO-style defense grouping in the Baltic
Sea area.
