[Regnum] The Finnish Foreign Ministry is working out details regarding the proposal of the Russian Ministry of Defense to clarify the state border line in the Baltic Sea. This was announced by the head of the Finnish Foreign Ministry, Elina Valtonen.
“According to media reports, Russia may reconsider the definition of maritime zones in the Gulf of Finland. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (of Finland - Ed.) is working out the details,” Valtonen wrote on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
She noted that Helsinki expects that Russia, as a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, will act in accordance with it.
As Regnum reported, a day earlier the Russian Ministry of Defense proposed to clarify the line of the state border in the Baltic Sea in the Kaliningrad region, as follows from the draft government resolution posted on the federal portal of draft regulatory legal acts. The text of the draft itself has not been published.
It also follows from the published materials that the Ministry of Defense proposes to recognize as invalid on the territory of the Russian Federation the “Baltic Sea” section of the list of geographical coordinates of points that determine the position of the baselines for measuring the width of the territorial waters, economic zone and continental shelf of the USSR off the mainland coast and islands of the Arctic Ocean, the Baltic and the Black Sea, which was approved by a decree of the USSR Council of Ministers in 1985. If the project is adopted, marine navigation charts are expected to be reissued taking into account adjustments to ensure safety at sea.
The threat to “ neutralize ” Kaliningrad with NATO forces was announced in February by the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania and Ambassador of Lithuania to Sweden Linas Linkevičius. He stated that after Sweden joined NATO, the Baltic Sea allegedly became “internal” for the military bloc.
Press secretary of the governor of the Kaliningrad region Dmitry Lyskov emphasized that the Baltic Sea, contrary to statements by politicians from NATO countries, will never become an internal sea of this military bloc.
Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, commenting on threats against the Kaliningrad region, said that the rhetoric associated with the advancement of NATO military infrastructure to Russian borders always causes concern. Kaliningrad is part of Russia, and will always be so, he emphasized.
NATO considers Kaliningrad as one of the potential points for the outbreak of a conflict; this region of Russia for the military bloc is “like an eyesore,” noted military expert Dmitry Drozdenko in an interview with Regnum news agency.
