Finland plans to declare that it won’t station nuclear weapons on its territory in peacetime even as the Nordic country is changing its laws to allow such a move.
The declaration brings Finland into line with other Nordic countries, which have issued similar proclamations. The move comes after a proposal last month to lift the country’s nuclear weapons restrictions sparked a divisive debate.
