Following US President Donald Trump\u2019s harsh response<\/strong> to nuclear threats against America, Russian Security Council Deputy Chair Dmitry Medvedev<\/strong> has shifted his aggressive rhetoric toward Finland<\/strong>, which the Kremlin sees as a convenient target due to its NATO membership and historical myths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This assessment was voiced by Ambassador Andriy Veselovskyi<\/strong>, advisor to the director of Ukraine\u2019s National Institute for Strategic Studies, in comments to Ukrinform<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cMedvedev is not an influential political figure in Russia. He is a Kremlin-manufactured scarecrow, a voice for the most radical forces. That\u2019s why he makes absurd statements like bombing Berlin, storming London, or even reaching Washington,\u201d Veselovskyi said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The diplomat noted that after Medvedev\u2019s reckless nuclear threats against the US in early August, Trump responded by ordering two nuclear submarines to strategic regions<\/strong>, making clear that \u201cstupid and provocative statements\u201d would not be tolerated. Medvedev then disappeared from the spotlight for a time before \u201cfinding a weaker target\u201d in Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Veselovskyi, the Kremlin uses false narratives<\/strong>, accusing Finland of aggression and preparing for war. Russia also exploits the memory of the 1939\u201340 Soviet-Finnish war<\/strong> to justify claims that Finland \u201cgave up too little territory\u201d and now must be punished for joining NATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis is nonsense and deliberate distortion. Finland joined NATO because Russia attacked Ukraine, destroys Finnish property and resources in the Baltic Sea, blocks shipping, and disrupts GPS over Finland. Having failed to intimidate the US, Moscow chose Finland as the new \u2018victim,\u2019\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Medvedev recently published an article via state agency TASS, accusing Finland of preparing a \u201claunchpad for attack\u201d against Russia and warning that confrontation could mean the \u201ccollapse of Finnish statehood forever.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
