More details are revealed from the phone call of the President of Finland with Vladimir Putin. Sauli Niinistö has told the Russian president his plans to join NATO.
Russian media have reported President Putin's speech. He told Sauli Niinistö that there are currently no threats to Finland's security and that abandoning Finland's neutral status would be a mistake.

Moscow described the conversation as "a sincere exchange of views".
