Finland expects neighbouring Russia to mount a campaign of disinformation in coming months to influence the Nordic nation's debate over joining NATO, the Finnish security service said on Tuesday.
Opinion polls show Finnish willingness to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has soared following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, indicating for the first time a majority in favour of becoming a member of the western defence pact.
A task force led by Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto is currently reviewing ways for Finland to strengthen its national security, including possible NATO membership.
