Russia To Withdraw From Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference

SECURITY

RIA has reported that the speaker of the Russian Duma Vyacheslav Volodin has announced Russia's withdrawal from the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference.

  • The Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference has been meeting since 1991 and appears to be first significant geopolitical repercussion of Sweden and Finland's decision to formally apply for NATO membership.
  • The BSPC was established to raise 'awareness and opinion on issues of current political interest and relevance for the Baltic Sea Region.'
  • The response from Moscow has been limited so far. Finland's President Sauli Niinisto held a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin shortly after the decision was taken on NATO. Niinisto: 'The discussion was straightforward and unambiguous and was held without exaggeration. Avoiding tensions was considered important.
  • Earlier today at a CSTO meeting Putin said on Finland and Sweden joining Nato: 'Russia has no problem with those states. So there is no direct threat from expansion to those countries. But deploying military infrastructure will provoke a response [...] based on the threats they create for us.'
