Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said Wednesday that Finland would make a decision about whether to apply to join the 30-member NATO alliance in the next few weeks, saying her country had “to be prepared for all kind of actions from Russia.”

Speaking at a news conference in Stockholm alongside Swedish prime minister Magdalena Andersson, Marin said that it would be a good thing if the two countries took similar security choices in the future, along a similar timetable.

Finland and fellow Nordic state and neighbour Sweden are close partners with NATO but have shied away from joining the 30-member alliance, founded in 1949 to counter the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Marin said the Finnish parliament were assessing various threats from Russia “risks, hyper threats, cyber-attacks, different kinds of influencing from Russia’s side," adding that fear should not influence the choices Finland made.

A white paper issued by the Finnish government on Wednesday said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine has profoundly changed Finland's security environment.
