Finland is just weeks away from submitting an application to join NATO despite Russian warnings that it would secure 'the destruction of their country', a former Prime Minister of the country said today.
The Nordic country, which has a long border with Russia and was invaded by the Red Army in 1939, has never been a member of the Cold War defence alliance, preferring instead to organise its own protection.
But since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, opinion polls commissioned by Finnish media outlets have shown a swift U-turn in public opinion with the majority now favouring joining.
