Satellite images, published in the New York Times, appear to show an expansion of military infrastructure near the Finnish border, including rows of tents, military vehicles, renovations to fighter jet shelters and construction on a previously unused helicopter base.

Nurmi said: “They are changing structures and we are seeing moderate preparations when it comes to building infrastructure close to our borders, meaning that they will, once the war in Ukraine hopefully ends, start to bring back the forces that have been fighting in Ukraine, especially land forces.”

So Russia is probably expecting to wrap up in Ukraine in the near future if they're making these enlargement preparations now?

I'd say the world leaders already know what's going to happen and the last people to find out will be the soldiers on the ground.

Sure would suck to die or be maimed the day before your country surrenders even though it knew it was going to surrender for awhile.

Finland and Sweden will probably see more harassment in general from Russia now that they've joined NATO
