According to RTL Today, the military ties between Finland and the US have grown since they signed a Defense Cooperation Agreement. You need to think about this important fact. By doing this, we can make it clear that Russia is still a constant threat. In addition, the deal makes it official that the two sides will work together more, including training together as a joint force and being able to communicate with each other militarily. This is to make it more in line with Finland’s new membership in NATO. The deal includes this. Still, Finland has made it clear that it wants to share the cost of defense in the area and around the world, even though Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, has said he has doubts about this. Putin’s decision to build a new defense area close to the border with Finland has made things more tense between the two countries. With charges that Russia is trying to “weaponize migration,” Finland’s Foreign Minister has spoken out against Russia. In a message that he put out, he said these things. The US and Finland have both said they back Sweden’s application to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This is in response to Turkey’s worries.
