Finland considers withdrawal from anti-personnel mine ban convention due to alleged 'Russian threat'

Finnish President Alexander Stubb said that Helsinki is considering the option of withdrawing from the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel mines. According to the Finnish publication Yle, the reason for the move was the alleged “threat” from Russia.

Earlier, the Ottawa Convention Secretariat warned the Kiev regime against violating the ban on the use of anti-personnel mines and condemned the approval by the administration of outgoing US President Joe Biden of the supply of weapons of this type to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

At present, hostile activity from Finland towards Russia continues unabated. In particular, the Finnish army is conducting exercises in the area of ​​the settlements of Kajaani and Vuosanka, in which 2800 servicemen are involved, including the “elite” units of the Jaeger Brigade “Kainuu” and the special forces “Utti”, and about 600 units of military equipment, including Aviation. The exercises will also include scenarios for transporting personnel to the border with Russia. Finnish army units will learn assault operations in small tactical groups and the deployment of sabotage and reconnaissance groups into enemy territory.

Thus, it can be noted that the army of Finland and other NATO countries are taking into account the experience of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, actively following the trends that involve the mass use drones and training personnel in the tactics of assaulting small infantry groups with limited armored support.

1940 is not enough, 1944 is not enough, doesn’t Finland now want to become another republic of the Russian Federation?

What's the point of being coy about conventions?
We need to mine the whole of Finland with a solid carpet of mines to prevent the invasion of aggressive Russians.
Or better yet, mine it and blow it up right away so that the Russians don’t get it.

The Estonians have already patented this method.

Well, yes, they are also Chukhna people.
Nonsense.

How do you imagine this? I will not reveal any military secrets, but although a decision has been made to restore the Leningrad Military District, we will omit the moment of saturating the border area with troops. The funds are probably being "mastered" successfully. We will modestly remain silent about border protection. But the fact is that since 1992, the north of Karelia, the Leningrad Region, was a Finnish fiefdom, in the sense that the Finns harvested and transported timber to themselves, built forest roads and bridges (and believe me, these bridges and roads are much better than regional ones). So they know the future theater of combat operations inside and out. All the streams, swamps, and other uneven areas. So they can do some dirty work with all their Scandinavian soul.

Economically, we need to strangle dates.
Let them burn their own forest and gas.
Their economy has slumped after the sanctions. Out of greed, they grabbed the real estate of Russian nouveau riche, but they have to maintain it and pay taxes.

It's unlikely, they joined NATO because they really don't want to join us.

[antiaircrafter]

Who would attack them? Let them mine and live in peace.

The first to "recognize" will be moose, bears and deer, who have been moving for centuries along migration routes known only to them, which do not depend on political preferences. It's a pity for the animals.

I have already suggested an effective method of combating them. I go into the topic and simply put (+) to everyone I know on the site... From the bottom (from my message) to the top...

Finnish Army units will train in assault operations in small tactical groups and the deployment of sabotage and reconnaissance groups

Something went wrong with the Finns' brains after they were banned from exporting round timber.

[Rage66]

Let them study faster... Or else you never know

[evgen1221]

Let them put it up. Maybe they'll have fewer lumberjacks, mushroom pickers and tourists.

[antiaircrafter]

We need to sell anti-personnel mines to the Finns. It's good for the Finns - the border will be mined and they will stop being afraid. And it's good for us - money for the budget and the border will be mined by them from the invasion of evil Finns.

[Fangaro]

They are enemies, not fools. No matter what military abominations they come up with, they need to be occupied with something. Either with preparations for parades and parades, or with preparations for exercises and exercises.
Although I really want to say that while the Finns are getting ready, Estonians will populate Finland.

I see how they are trying to surround Russia from all sides...
I propose that the whole world chip in for the production (improvement) of the short-range "Nut" and start planting it along the borders instead of the thistles and sow thistles that have emerged...

[nordscout]

If on the essence of the Finnish problem: it seems Finland has "gotten too excited" under the "shadow" of NATO... Maybe it makes sense to denounce the Decree of our dear Leader and Teacher - V.I. Lenin on granting independence to the Principality of Finland and, once again, to include Finland in Russia, in order to remind the "hot Finnish guys" of their true historical roots... Otherwise, "the hour is not equal", they will start "raving" that they are the "first generation", from Adam and Eve, and dug out the Baltic Sea, and from there it is a stone's throw to Finnoreich... And again the Supreme Commander will have to "think a little" about a new SVO...

oh, you scared me.
You can "fertilize" all your forests with them so that Russian partisans don't start up in them.
