Russian defence minister says Finland joining Nato raises risk of conflict

Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu has said that Finland’s accession to the Nato military alliance and the bloc’s move to boost its own combat-readiness increased the risk of conflict.
Shoigu also said that some Belarusian military jets were now capable of carrying nuclear warheads and that Iskander rocket systems had been transferred to Belarus, which could be used to carry conventional or nuclear missiles.
