Finnish President Alexander Stubb has dismissed warnings from several European leaders that Russia could launch an imminent attack on NATO, stating Helsinki’s intelligence shows no evidence of such a military threat.

In remarks at the UN General Assembly in New York, Stubb countered assertions by European officials that Moscow might target NATO members within months. “We don’t see the evidence of that,” Stubb said. “In our intelligence we see that there is activity but no imminent military threat right now.”

He added: “It is not in the interest of Russia nor in the capacity of Russia to go full-scale.”

Stubb’s assessment contrasts with urgent warnings from Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who claimed Russia could fire drones or missiles into NATO countries supporting Ukraine in “the next few months,” and French President Emmanuel Macron, who described Tusk’s warning as “sound and well-documented.”

Michal Koudelka, head of the Czech Republic’s BIS security service, similarly suggested possible Russian actions might include a limited incursion, false-flag provocations, or a massive influence campaign, stating such scenarios could unfold within “months, not years.”

Stubb described predictions that NATO countries could soon be targeted as an “overreaction” and urged European counterparts to remain “cool, calm, and collected.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently accused some European leaders of openly preparing for war with Russia, claiming they seek to “salvage their declining ratings by covering up mistakes in their economic and social policies.”

Finland, which joined NATO in 2023 after previously maintaining military non-alignment, has continued strengthening its defense capabilities. Earlier this month, the country conducted a civil-defense exercise involving more than 2,000 participants — described as Europe’s largest since World War II.
