Deputy chair of security council says there would be ‘no more talk of any nuclear-free status for the Baltic’
Moscow has said it will be forced to strengthen its defences in the Baltic if Finland and Sweden join Nato, as the war in Ukraine entered its seventh week.
The former president Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chair of Russia’s security council, said on Thursday that Russia would bolster all its forces – including deploying nuclear weapons – in the region if the two Nordic countries joined the US-led alliance.
