Finland, small but mighty 💪🏻 G'day from Australia to all our friends in Finland 🇦🇺🤝🇫🇮

I'm wondering why Russia is afraid of Finland. Finland has never started war with Russia...actually Finland has never started a war with anybody.

The Finns keep a cool head, they understand the seriousness but are smart enough to handle it in the right way. We should listen and learn from Finland and the other countries in the EU and NATO that have experienced the Russians throughout history. Greetings from Sweden, and yes we are very proud to be neighbors with Finland

Bless Finland and its Citizens

I personally admire. Finland they are strong

"russia threatens Finland" Finland: oh no "sips coffee" anyway

Love to 🇫🇮

I bet that the Russian soldiers along the border with Finland are some of the happier soldiers in the Russian army.They know they won`t be attacked any time soon so can remain relatively safe.The commanders of these soldiers probably get a lot of respect and their troops don`t break the rules or they might get "transferred" to Donetsk..

The chihuahua vs German shepherd had me in stitches😂😂. Finland knows what it needs to protect itself and lets remember it has Western Europe's strongest artillery. ❤to Finland. 💙💛

God bless Finland🇫🇮 and its brave people!

The Finns have never been afraid of Russia.

"finland,finland,finland, the country where i want to be.... " Monty Pythons sings :P

Great report. Thank you

As Major General Harri Ohra-aho commented russia's ballistic missiles: "Of course, it's none of my business, but operationally it seems absurd to bring missile systems with such a long-range closer to our border. They make easy targets for us."

👍 I remember how much i missed TVP when it was gone! Glad its back

shame on russia

"gas station sushi stand"......I'm dead

Suomi Finland perkele. Now I'm going to Sauna😌

Finland has been ready for Russia since what? the 2nd world war? What i have read and studied their military is highly trained and are equipped with some of the best equipment money can buy. I also understand that the eastern border between finland and russia is said to be some of the most difficult terrain layouts to operate at and heavily favours the defender. Finns got massive amount of troops/equipment specifically trained to operate in a dense forest like terrain and wage asymmetric warfare on Russia....yeah, i'd skip Finland too.

Finland 🇫🇮 knows. So happy they're in NATO now!

❤❤❤

Thank you TVP world news

Russia is increasing its troops? They better make more Vodka.

Ahem..."Violence is only created out of lies, and so to cover them lies more Violence is purportrated". Voltaire.

They cant really use those against Helsinki because fallout would most likely hit ST Petersburg due to the winds in Gulf of Finland.

the world is a wonderful place.

Russian threats are a bad joke.. they do not even manage in Ukraine.. greetings from Finland

Finland knows that Putin’s full of shit with his empty, tedious , threats.

Well! Right close to the Russian border would be a great place for a joint Finnish and US base! I’m not worried about Finland. They showed in the Winter War that with NATO weapons, Russia doesn’t have chance at winning this time! He’s right that countries NOT near Russia need to be the ones to give their air defense systems!

Ah, the usual routine: starting the day with a cup of coffee, while casually brushing off nuclear strike threats. Just another typical morning here in Finland.

We have 900.000 reservists, bigger artillery than UK, Germany and France combined, biggest in Europe. Russia may threat and rattle saber to Finland, but at this moment all Russian military bases near Finnish border are empty and every man is in Ukraine. Russia just doesn’t have the resources to attack Finland (full NATO membership) and same time fighting in Ukraine. I have served in FDF as Jaeger, TOW-gunner. My grandfather fought in Winter War 1939, when soviets try to invade us, the Red Army had more than one million soldiers already deployed on our borders; Finland, prior to mobilization, had just 33,000. After 105 days they stopped. The casualties were too big for Stalin. We kept our independence.

Good report TVP!

Russian missiles can hit from 2000 km away so its good thing if they bring them next to border then those are easy targets. So yeah its media game

OUTSPOKEN,NOT UNSPOKEN!!

Putin is so smart. To stop NATO from getting closer to Russian borders, he's actually encouraged his closest neighbours to join NATO. Brilliant tactician - a real chess master (for you Russians, that's sarcasm).

The Karelia in Leningrad region (and partially in the Republic of Karelia) is Finnish land.

Finns are strong and Putin makes noise like an empty barrel. Iskander threat is nothing.

anyone seen the movie last soldier?

Turkey has been in NATO for a long time and it doesn't seem to bother Putin at all, but Finland does for some reason.

A lot of lakes up that way. Orcs will need amphibious golf carts from chyna

Good reporting. Thank you. Strong Ukraine and Poland.

@21:50 Look like Putin really enjoying himself telling jokes for young Russian girls.

The Finns do not speak much, they just act when needed. They have been under the threats of Russia for a long time. They are used to it and know what to do in all situations. The Russians know this and therefore do not dare to attack Finland. The Russians have really bad experiences of it.

Garry Kasparov is from Azerbaijan not ruzzia!

Thank you for the amazing report. Since I lived during the end of the cold war. I always thought the only real reason that russia never attacked was due to the Star Wars Weapons' Platform. Now yes there was a movie actually called Star Wars however two totally unrelated. The weapons system was designed to be a money pit that russia could never get out of until it succeeded in creating a defence for the system. However it was basically designed to fool russia with movie tech at the time and with the correlation of all the Satellites we sent up at the time with the International Space station talks. That the Star Wars weapon itself was to harness the ability to use the satellites to lock onto and destroy the Nuclear weapon in space at its highest trajectory. Also that it could be used offensively to strike weapons silos and mobile russian NBCW (Nuclear, Biologica, Chemical, Weapons) platforms while they were going to the launching site. It was basically the worst animation of the time showing these satellites linking up and hitting the target with lasers and missiles in outer space. Plus the war in Afghanistan at the time caused russia to fall. Now the Soviet Union's nickname for those past the cold war was all the territory that the Nazi Germans had taken and then fallen into the hands of USSr and then being a vassal state in name only as a blocking point for russian defence if NATO attacked. The Iron Curtain was basically to stall and by time for russia and its limited allies to fight. With a vast Majority of russian assets still in the Stains regions with their space program locked in Kazakhstan which just told russia to piss off as of last year in 2023 that they would not allow russia to use the 1 launching platform it had. Now each State in the Union which was occupied with a russian Friendly government which was meant to basically enslave its people as russians. Each state started to get courage from time to time and had horrific shut down operations by the government using troops from different areas' posted inside that country so that it was not the citizens shooting on citizens of the societies. Meant to be shown as power over the people as in riot we send in the USSR military not your own military and kill everything that was in front of it. However with the funds being used for war on the American space program Afghanistan, and all the resources it took to hold by force the states into the union. As the wars went the money left and russia did not at one point even have enough money to pay its officers. Now this is a quick and crude history just for a comment on the American perspective. We always wanted Europe to join with America to be allies even with russia. At one point we offered them to join NATO. In the early 2000s russia started to pull away from the collective West and started being leery of russian intentions. After Putler started to re-write the russian constitution. Now with what is left of it you could not use it to blow your nose with. Putler stripped so much from russia that it went from Communism to Capitalism to whatever this is now. Like I was saying prior, each country that was in front of russia was just a resource to slow the UN or NATO or whatever it was down. That is one reason most of the russian vehicles are amphibious even the tanks so they could keep going when NATO was sure to blow the bridges when russia invaded. Good foresight by the russians as to how to know your enemy. russia was perfectly willing to sacrifice its vassal state for USSr. Until 1986, 26, 04 or Chernobyl which changed russian strategy after that due to the waste that came back from wind currents. russia only said it was around 100 that died and that it was not a big deal. And yet here we sit and when russia tried to take Chernobyl they dug into the soil using equipment that had been saturated in radioactive air for over 30 years. Needless to say the control of the plant is still in UKraines hands after the whole group was sent back to russia where from the last report less than 8% survived after the choice to "Dig In" not sure if they are on this side or the other side of the grass. There is a great interview with a commander of the Ukraine defence force that is on UKposts.

Under Urho Kekkonen harsh policy Finland was willy nilly a part of Soviet zone of influence. But he bright side of this situation of limited idependence was economical liberty. So sad that Finland only now joined NATO. You'd be welcome just when SU collapsed. You just overslept the best opportunity. But as the saying goes - better late than never.

Our host on this show is a bit of a puzzle; I've tried but I can't place his accent.

4:26 'Heavy on melodrama, but light on reality.' Classic! Love it. Putin's friend DJT mimics his style every day. 😀

Putin is done!

Ukraine Will Win, Slava Ukrayini 🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦

ETERNAL EVIL😢

The bit about Garry Kasparov being a terrorist floored me. I'm sure I would be terrified by Kasparov only if he were sitting on the other side the chessboard, though I suspect that ol' Vatnik Patootie might have other feelings on the matter. (FOOTNOTE: I think you mean "outspoken," not "unspoken.")

Seems to me that anything that doesn't go in the Kremilin's favour, seems to infuriate them... 😂 China/CCP (without drawing comparisons), seem to be likewise... LOL Ahhh, the world is so unstable atm.

It's just Putin throwing his dummy out of the pram again we all are getting well used to it, childish behaviour

Nothing new, during the cold war the border was full of soldiers. But now Russia needs to create a new army first, the former went to Ukraine and was destroyed, Northern Russian military bases are almost empty it can be seen in satellite images. Most of units will never come back.

We take russian threats serious. We have twice as many trained military personnel than Israel and Israel have twice our population.

Honestly, Biden? come on man!

Id invite all refugees out of Russia and train and quipped as a legion for Finland 🇫🇮 citizenship like in France 🇫🇷

Love your work, Finland! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Finland President looks like a James Bond Villain 😂

They can’t attack a nato country. Why worry?

But.. but.. I thought that FENCES DON'T WORK?! Must be a special case.. fences work in Finland, but not in the southern US. Yeah, that must be it.

I love your show! Can you maybe tell you Director that the west is getting dizzy when you continually spin around to different cameras? It just doesnt look....genuine. We stopped doing that 25 years ago in the states. I really do love the show....just an observation that has been sort of bothering me for a while..I just had to share. I am sure you are tired of it as well! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥️

US/NATO is more than capable of taming any little barking Chihuahua .

PUTIN ??? Just like Peskov ,,,🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡😅😅

This move made no difference whatsoever. Finland was already in range for Iskander missiles in the south (St. Pete and Kaliningrad) and nuclear weapons in the north (Murmansk). Russia has been conducting hybrid attacks such as influence attempts against Finland as long as it has existed. Not that ordinary Russians care or understand this.

We can stay calm because Russians got their hands full with Ukraine. That's why we need to support Ukraine as much as we can.

Russia should be neutral.

No bad relationship before they joined NATO... Just leave out the key part of why they joined

Russia has not been threat to Finland for over 30 years, and is not even now. But by joining Nato we joined the enemies, as the Russians see it. And you can not say openly here in Finland without being accused as Putin's supporter that the main reason for war in Ukraine is Nato's decision in 2008 to make Ukraine and Georgia members too. That is to make Black See as inner see of Nato and to move Nato's eastern border deep inside the Russia. A very profound change in the geopolitical situation in eastern Europe. 😖

No to NATO !!!!! It has started many wars, in Jugoslavia , Syria, Vietnam, Afganistan and now in Ukraina and perhaps in Finland.

Trump can build a wall for Finland lmfao

very bad angry music after⁷⁵years against nato the tank wasn't in finnland's eastborder it was from "soviet union" make a better friendshipfilm to your own mind mr Nato🏳🏳🏳

Russia don't threathen Scandinavia. If you young man , read the history, but history every in where in the world is not easy. Even you study most of your life, maybe you would not understand so much

You should better more worry about your morality, dear Poles! Will you be sending back to Ukraine all her citizens who got an asylum in Poland, against their own will? That should be your main issue...not Finland 🔊🗣️🔊

Putin is a great man

AAA+++
