Zakharova cautioned at a news conference on Friday that bringing up the prospect of NATO would be harmful to both nations.
“Finland and Sweden’s security should not be based on endangering the security of other countries, and their membership in NATO could have negative consequences, including military and political consequences.”
“We regard the Finnish government’s commitment to a military non-alignment policy as an important factor in ensuring security and stability in northern Europe,” Zakharova said.
The decision of Ukraine to join NATO is believed to be responsible for Russia’s attack.
