Finland's army chief believes that Russia will not directly attack NATO member state.
General Janne Jaakkola, the new chief of the Finnish Armed Forces, believes that Russia is unlikely to directly attack a NATO member state but may well continue hybrid attacks, including signal jamming and election interference.

Details : Jaakkola said that testing Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which provides for collective self-defence in the event of an attack on NATO, "is always possible, but if we take correct action and maintain unity, I consider an attack unlikely".
The Finnish general noted that Moscow is currently too busy preparing for a new summer offensive in Ukraine to consider an attack on NATO.
However, he warned, Russia is likely to continue hybrid attacks against European countries in the form of GPS jamming, influence operations and facilitating illegal migration to neighbouring countries, including Finland.
"The point for the Russians is that they wish to cause as much division in Europe as possible, so that our unity and cohesion is a bit weaker," Jaakkola said.
Janne Jaakkola's appointment as commander of Finland's armed forces on 1 April marked the anniversary of the country's NATO membership.
His predecessor in office, Timo Kivinen, predicted that the situation with the war in Ukraine would become more difficult before turning more positive in the future.
