Facing Russia, northern and eastern European countries prepare their societies for war

Finland has resumed bomb safety tests for the first time since 1992, reflecting heightened security concerns due to modern warfare threats. The Finnish armed forces conducted detonations near Rovaniemi, with Ukrainian experts observing the trials. Countries bordering Russia, including Finland, Poland, and the Baltic states, are increasing military readiness and civil defense efforts in response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The invasion has prompted these nations to strengthen alliances and prepare society for potential threats, emphasizing the importance of civil defense.
