She had already warned that she would strengthen defence along its border with NATO if the alliance deploys any additional troops or equipment on it, Euronews writes.
The move is being seen as a strategic and political blow to President Vladimir Putin, who has long complained about NATO's expansion towards Russia . . though the alliance says it poses no threat to Moscow.
The Russian “Federata will be forced to take military-technical measures and other revenge measures to counter threats to our national security stemming from Finland's accession to NATO”, the foreign ministry warned in a statement.
He said Finland's movement marks a substantial change in the situation in northern Europe, which had previously been one of the most stable regions in the world.
