Described as a given the United Kingdom’s support for Finland in the event that the Nordic country was under attack from Russia the British Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace. This support would be given even without these states to have become members of NATO.

In a press conference with his Finnish counterpart from the city of Nisalo, Mr. Wallace said: “Britain is unthinkable not to come to the aid of Finland or Sweden if they were ever attacked. “

He noted that even without a “major formal agreement”, aid would be offered on the basis that it is a European country with which Britain shares common values ​​and history.

Therefore, he added, the assistance would be provided regardless of the stage of the applications of the two Nordic countries for NATO membership.

As for Finland’s prospect of joining the North Atlantic Alliance, Ben Wallace was content to say that it was up to it, as a free country, to decide whether to seek membership.

Commenting on the conduct of military operations in Ukraine, the British Minister of Defense said that “what we have learned is that Russian military equipment is not worth the money as a whole, as it is currently being dismantled by cheap drones and poor leadership.”
