Finland’s President Alexander Stubb said there’s no conclusion yet on whether recent repeated damage to undersea cables in the Baltic Sea was sabotage.

"Had it continued for another 12 minutes, the carnage would have been much worse than the four basic cables that were there," Finnish President Alexander Stubb said.

Security in the Baltic Sea will be strengthened through increased Nato presence, a decision announced after a meeting of Nato member states in Helsinki on Tuesday.

I am confident that through hard diplomatic work we will be able to strengthen the Organization, contribute to a safer, more secure Europe and beyond,' says Feridun Sinirlioglu - Anadolu Ajansı

Alexander Stubb I hope he’s wrong ... Now, I think the choice is actually between Yalta and Helsinki. Yalta, of course, was, you know, a congress of big powers, the victors of World War 2 ...

NATO is launching a new mission to protect undersea cables in the Baltic Sea region after a string of incidents that have heightened concerns about possible Russian activities, the alliance’s leader said.

Baltic Sea NATO member countries plan to discuss security in the region at a summit in Helsinki on Tuesday that comes in the wake of a number of recent acts of suspected sabotage at sea. The main purpose of the summit is to find ways to better protect critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea and to counter the threat posed by the so-called Russian shadow fleet.

Leaders of eight states with Baltic coastlines met in Helsinki to discuss recent damage to subsea cable infrastructure in the region.
