Vladimir Putin today warned his enemies in the West they will face 'consequences' if they 'worsen the situation' in Ukraine, as the Russian strongman threatened to create 'waves of migrants' in Europe.

The A-181 leads from Russia's St Petersburg to Finland.

Russian heavy weapons including missile systems have been seen moving towards the border with Finland, hours after Russia warned its northern neighbour against joining NATO.

A video uploaded last night appears to show two Russian coastal defence missile systems moving along a road on the Russian side of the border that leads to Helsinki.

The missile systems, which were seen driving past a sign to the Finnish capital, are thought to be the K-300P Bastion-P mobile coastal defence system, designed to take out surface ships up to and including aircraft carrier battle groups.

The Russian deployment comes as Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said she expects her government 'will end the discussion before midsummer' on whether to apply for NATO membership.

Recent opinions polls by a Finnish market research company put 84% of Finns as viewing Russia as a 'significant military threat', up by 25% on last year.

In response, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov euphemistically warned the move would 'not improve' the security situation in Europe, and Moscow lawmaker Vladimir Dzhabarov added more bluntly it would mean 'the destruction of the country'.

'We have repeatedly said that the alliance remains a tool geared towards confrontation and its further expansion will not bring stability to the European continent,' Peskov said.

The Russian deployment comes as Finland and Sweden debate the merits of joining the NATO military alliance in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The video clearly shows road signs leading to the Finnish capital of Helsinki. Finland, currently neutral, shares a 830 mile long border with Russia

NATO made that agreement and they have the right to change the agreement. Freedom of Association is a right of every individual and country

Finland better respect yourself, being neutral is better than taking sides, dont start what you can't finish, Ukraine has been destroyed, don't let the west deceive you just like they deceived Ukraine

Freedom of war is there too, I have the right to attack you, for trying to kill me.

You get it, don't come and wail here that it is an unprovoked war, because, this one will not be soft like Ukraine, a lot of tactical nuclear weapon will be used.

Putin is a Fearless Lion.

Great mother Russia

There was no agreement. There was a meeting actually but no legal agreement. Putin has long been told to provide the agreement if anything was signed.

The meeting was even with the Soviet Union which has since collapsed.

This is the sort of escalation EU was trying to avoid at all cost, reason why they were extremely reluctant to assist Ukraine with much needed arms to fend off Russia.

Ukraine got themselves into this mess unprepared, counting on their Western allies who, disappointedly, have been pussyfooting about their intentions, or dare I say Ukraine's desires. The West is willing to sacrifice a single country for the greater good of the continent. It is a natural survival strategy.

You are free to associate with who ever you want, NATO and Warsaw pact had an agreement.
The Warsaw pact obeyed the agreement but NATO did a U-turn.
Do a research you will see reasons why Most Asian, Middle East nations like Israel, decide to go neutral

I will sir

Finland should have learnt something from what is happening to Ukraine.

They may not tow that path.

There is no county that is truly sovereign asides US. Every other country is either pressured, diplomatically coerced or outrightly forced to accept ideologies that may be alien to them.
As Russia is into this war, it's easier for them to go into another war except if they sustained enormous casualties.

Where is it? Why has Russia not brought their own copy? Or were they foolish to throw theirs away?

BTW, I don't think Russia will fight Finland. They have a far far stronger military than Ukraine and seeing how the war in Ukraine is shaping out. Putin stands no chance moving soldiers into Finland. Finland's Air Force is pretty dangerous with advanced missiles, F18 fighters and F35s on order. He can only scare them with Nuclear weapons.

Warsaw pact that doesn't exist again So such agreement is void, because Warsaw pack ended with Soviet Union.

Finland has already joined

If the war does not involve stuff like Nuclear weapons that would lead to a world apocalypse, Finland will hold their ground against Russia. They have a modern military far beyond Ukraine.

Na dem sabi. But I thought Finland was already part of NATO?

I hope so bro
