Finland is considering the possibility of creating anti-tank ditches on the border with Russia, studying the experience of the war in Ukraine. This is reported by the Bloomberg agency, citing the commander of the country's ground forces, Pasi Välimäki. He noted the harsh climatic conditions in Finland and wondered how long it would take before the environment turns such fortifications into ponds. Välimäki also emphasized the importance of establishing supply to troops on the front line in the event of a protracted conflict, adding that Finland does not want a war of attrition. In his opinion, the Finnish armed forces, as part of deterrence on NATO's eastern flank, must be able to strike missile and drone launch systems before they can be launched against the country's territory.
