This comes as Russia warns Finland of ‘consequences’ if it joins NATO.
The Nordic country is moving ahead with plans to join the alliance, with a decision expected in the coming days.
Finland’s bid is receiving support from the leaders of Germany and France.
The country shares an 800-mile border with Russia and has voiced security concerns, alongside Sweden, since the invasion of Ukraine took place.
But the Kremlin says the move would be a threat to Russia and is warning of possible retaliation.
