There was a big raid operation in the Turku archipelago in 2018, where a Russian bought a conveniently located property to spy on military installations of Finland: https://yle.fi/a/3-10431313

I appreciate that the Finns have the balls to confront the Russians while the rest of Europe just doesn't do much, or let themselves be held hostage by Orban and Fico.

I think it had helicopter pad, a harbor for relatively large ships etc. I think Russia had planned to use it as a place to land troops or "green men" during war as spying could happen without helicopter pad etc.

Is European states voting for parties not run by neocon globalists "holding Europe hostage"?

"How dare you vote for a leader who doesn't hate Russia?! Don't you care about defending democracy? You have to vote for the leaders we tell you to!"
