Russia is amassing troops near Finland — what next? | Olenya, Northern Fleet
Old, slanted houses, roads riddled with craters, gloomy faces and, often, elderly, because there are no young people here — the border villages of Karelia seem to have survived the war.
But no, these places have yet to get to know the destructive power of KABs, ballistics and combat drones — right now the Kremlin is stuffing the region with troops, tanks and ammunition depots. Allegedly, to defend against NATO. But translated from Putin's language, this always means the opposite — to attack.
One of the likely targets is neighboring Finland. After all, the residents of Karelia have been set against the Finns for at least the last twenty years.
When will Moscow be ready for a new war? How are local officials using the militarization of Karelia for their own enrichment? And, perhaps, the main question — do the Karelians have a chance of surviving the upcoming meat grinder? All about this — in our video.
