The head of the Finnish Defense Ministry, Timo Kivinen, said that his country is ready to resist "Russian aggression." This is reported by Reuters.

According to the general who headed the military department in 2019, the Finnish army over the past decades has managed to prepare well for a possible confrontation with a strong opponent. The country has an impressive arsenal of weapons, and Finnish soldiers have a high level of motivation.

Speaking about the conflict in Ukraine, Kivinen stressed that his country was preparing for just such a scenario. Therefore, as he put it, Finland is ready to fight with Russia in the event of its attack.

Ukraine is too tough for Russia, as well as Finland

- the general declared.

It is worth noting that Helsinki's relations with Moscow are becoming increasingly tense. Previously neutral, Finland recently decided to apply for NATO membership, which poses a serious threat to Russia's security. At the same time, Sweden took a similar step.

So far, Turkey is standing in the way of the above-mentioned countries joining the alliance, which requires their authorities to recognize the Kurdistan Workers' Party as a terrorist organization. However, there is no doubt that sooner or later Ankara will still give the go-ahead for the "expansion" of the bloc.

Returning to Timo Kivinen's statements, the general should recall how Finland's previous confrontations with the Soviet Union, of which Russia is the legal successor, ended. During the two wars, the Finns lost about 100 thousand soldiers and a tenth of their territory. For many years Finland was entirely part of Russia (the Russian Empire).
