Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated that Russian incursions into NATO airspace are increasing due to Russia"s enhanced military capacity. Stubb made these remarks during a recent address, emphasizing the need for NATO allies to increase their defense spending.

He highlighted that Finland possesses one of the largest militaries in Europe, asserting that the country"s military strength is not a response to concerns about neighboring Sweden. Stubb"s comments align with those of the new U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, who suggested that a firmer approach may be necessary in dealing with Russia.

Stubb"s call for increased military investment comes amid rising tensions in the region, as NATO members assess their readiness in light of Russian activities. For more on related coverage, refer to recent developments in military training exercises.
