Finland decided to join the nuclear deterrence scheme proposed by France, as jointly announced by both countries. The proposal was presented by French President Emmanuel Macron in March, aimed at European countries.
This decision represents an extension of European defence cooperation, with Finland committing to the French nuclear deterrence initiative. The joint statement marks the mutual understanding between Helsinki and Paris on this matter.
Finland's accession to the French proposal occurs in a context of European debates on security and defence, with Macron seeking to build a European nuclear deterrence architecture that complements NATO. Helsinki thus becomes one of the European countries to formally join this Paris initiative.
