Moscow accuses EU state's leaders of ‘whipping up war psychosis'
The Finnish authorities have been churning up an atmosphere of 'war psychosis' and urging people to prepare for a possible war with Russia, according to Moscow's ambassador to the EU country, Pavel Kuznetsov. In an interview with RIA Novosti published on Thursday, Kuznetsov said that Finland's leadership is instilling fear in the population using claims of 'Russia's aggressive plans.' Helsinki is promoting various initiatives to strengthen military preparedness among civilians, the envoy said. 'There is increased media coverage of bomb shelter renovations, the expansion of shooting club networks, and the extension of the maximum age for reservists,' Kuznetsov observed, adding that such measures are being 'widely promoted.' According to the ambassador, such actions are part of the Finnish government's attempt to justify the country's 'hasty' NATO accession and increased defense spending. Finland, which shares an almost 1,300-kilometer-long border with Russia, officially joined the US-led military bloc in April 2023 following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict. The Finnish government has since strengthened its defense policies, including expanding military training and civil preparedness programs. Multiple outlets have reported a sharp rise in interest among Finns in weapons training. Shooting ranges have seen membership soar, and the government has announced plans to open more than 300 new shooting facilities to encourage the trend. In November 2024, Finland issued guidance on how to prepare for an armed conflict, emphasizing the importance of readiness in the face of potential threats.

Sweden has sent out millions of updated booklets entitled 'In case of crisis or war,' while Norway has issued pamphlets urging people to be prepared to survive on their own for a week in the event of extreme weather, war, or other threats. Denmark's emergency management agency has informed the public how much water, food, and medicine individuals need to get through a crisis lasting three days. In December, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told a local broadcaster that she has been stocking canned food and other essentials in case of a Russian attack. NATO has long declared Russia to be a direct threat, and Western officials have repeatedly claimed that if Moscow wins the Ukraine conflict, it could attack other European countries. Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed any possibility of a military advance against NATO as 'nonsense.'

At the same time, Russia has repeatedly warned against what it describes as NATO's unprecedented military activity near its western borders in recent years.
