The commander of the Finnish army called an attack by the Russian Federation on NATO countries unlikely
General Janne Jaakkola, the new commander of the Finnish Armed Forces, said that Russia is not currently planning a direct military invasion of NATO countries, but will continue with hybrid attacks, including jamming GPS signals, interfering with elections and facilitating illegal migration.
According to the general, the goal of the Kremlin is to weaken the unity and cohesion of Europe, causing division between countries. He also noted that Russia is currently focused on preparing for a new summer offensive in Ukraine.
About this informs Reuters.
Janne Jaakkola believes that a test of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty on Collective Defense is possible, but unlikely, if NATO countries maintain unity and take the necessary measures.

The former commander of the Finnish army, Timo Kivinen, warned that the situation on the front in Ukraine could become even more difficult before it starts to improve. He urged to be prepared for various unpleasant scenarios of the development of events.
