Russia “may be testing” the NATO member countries on its western frontier with recent actions linked to demarcating its borders, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said.
Speaking in Riga on Friday during his visit to Latvia — another Russian neighbor that’s part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union — Orpo said “we have to be well prepared against all kinds of threats coming from Russia.”
