in Finland, in addition to storing weapons
and other military equipment in the country.
According to Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen,
the so-called Defense Cooperation Agreement
is scheduled to be signed on December 18.
Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said the pact,
which still needs approval by Finnish lawmakers, , "is very significant for
Finland’s defense and security.".
It bears a very strong message
in this time.

is committed to our defense
also in a tough spot, Antti Häkkänen, Finland's Defense Minister,
via 'The Independent'.
'The Independent' reports that the deal will allow
the U.S. to access 15 military sites across Finland,
while also maintaining a permanent military presence.

Germany’s Eurofighter jets have conducted high-profile military exercises in Finland, landing just 180 kilometres from the Russian border.
