The headquarters of NATO's ground forces in Northern Europe will be established in Finland, Norwegian Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gram said in an interview with the Finnish newspaper IltaLehti.
The publication notes that the headquarters will be located in the Finnish city of Mikkeli, which is about 140 kilometers from the border with Russia. It will report to the North Atlantic Command headquarters in Norfolk, USA.
Russia has repeatedly pointed out NATO's aggressive course towards Moscow: the military bloc is aimed at expansion into the post-Soviet space and confrontation. Such a policy of the North Atlantic Alliance cannot bring greater security to the region, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

The West should admit that attacks on Zaporozhye nuclear power plant were carried out by Ukraine - Moscow
As soon as the West realizes that the attacks on the Zaporozhye plant are carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces, the Western myth about Ukraine and Zelensky will fall apart, she added.
Western nations "have created a monster with potential consequences that they are now reluctant to acknowledge," Zakharova said. They seem to be brainwashing themselves with talk about how dangerous incidents should not be repeated, she concluded.
Ukrainian forces recently carried out a kamikaze drone attack on the Zaporozhye plant, the latest in a series of such attacks since Russia's special military operation began. The latest attack came shortly after a team of specialists from the International Atomic Energy Agency inspected the Zaporozhye plant.

"It is reckless to claim that the attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant are not connected with the Kiev regime, but Western countries simply cannot admit the obvious fact," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.
As soon as the West realizes that the attacks on the Zaporozhye plant are carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces, the Western myth about Ukraine and Zelensky will fall apart, she added.
"There are no guarantees that Kiev will not use Western tranches for its attacks on the Zaporozhye plant, and there are no guarantees that Zelensky will not start blackmailing his handlers, threatening to intensify these attacks if he does not get the next tranche," the Russian diplomat added.
