Finland's President Stubb says Russia unlikely to risk attacking NATO
Finland's President Alexander Stubb told Germany's Bild newspaper that he does not believe Russia would risk attacking a NATO country, saying it would 'make no sense.' He disputed German officials' assessment that Russia could be in a position to attack a NATO country by 2029, saying he saw no evidence or facts to support it. Stubb cited NATO's strength in conventional, missile, and nuclear weapons and said he had intelligence to back his assessment.
