Earlier, the Finnish government initiated a historic revision of the 1987 Nuclear Energy Act, which until now had strictly prohibited the import and storage of nuclear munitions on the country’s territory.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated that the country has no intention of stationing nuclear weapons on its territory during peacetime.
Finland has also authorized the deployment of nuclear weapons on its territory.
