Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said he told Russian President Vladimir Putin that his country will apply for NATO membership. The conversation was initiated by Finland.
In a release, Niinisto’s office said that he had stressed how Russian demands late last year aiming at preventing countries from joining NATO had "altered the security environment of Finland."
"The conversation was direct and straight-forward and it was conducted without aggravations," Niinisto said in a statement. "Avoiding tensions was considered important."
