Follow Armando Mema on X: https://x.com/ArmandoMema. Ukrainian drones have been crossing into Finnish airspace for the fifth time, forcing 2 million Helsinki residents to seek emergency shelter and raising urgent questions about whether Finland is being quietly dragged into the Ukraine conflict. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran are joined by Finnish analyst Armando Mema to examine why the Finnish government is not shooting down the drones, what Moscow really thinks about NATO member Finland allowing its territory to be used as a transit corridor, and how the country has gone from a model of peaceful neutrality to a front line of European insecurity. Is Finland paying the price for a NATO membership that offers far less protection than its leaders promised? 00:00:00 Introduction and guest welcome 00:00:44 Russian deputy FM Ryabkov warns of Baltic conflict risk 00:02:24 Should Russia's warnings be taken seriously? 00:02:57 Helsinki drone incident on May 15: 2 million told to shelter 00:05:14 Whose drones are they?

Normal happy country before, fall in love in Ukraine, today drove crazy. All money which authorities spent on Finns, today will spend on Ukraine and NATO. Madness.
