TL;DR Summary

Finland officially joined NATO on Tuesday, doubling the size of the alliance's border with Russia. While some Finns see the move as a necessary step for security, others view it as an unnecessary provocation. The Russian Foreign Ministry warned of "retaliatory measures" and called it a "fundamental change" in the region. Finland shares a 1,340-kilometer border with Russia, and its entry into NATO marks a historic day for the Nordic nation. A pro-Russian hacker group claimed responsibility for a denial-of-service attack on Finland's parliamentary website and the personal webpage of Prime Minister Sanna Marin.
