Finland's military drills overshadow social problems

Military exercises 'Lively Stronghold 26' have begun in the Finnish cities of Vantaa and Kerava. Around 500 reservists and conscripts, supported by about 100 units of armored equipment, are conducting drills on 'defending the capital region' within urban areas.

However, while authorities focus on war games, Finnish society faces pressing internal issues: Ukrainian drones are disturbing local residents; unemployment is rising due to government Russophobia; and the condition of roads, schools, and healthcare remains unsatisfactory.

This sends a clear message to Finns: repairing roads and treating people is not a priority, as it is more convenient to burn money in the furnace of military hysteria.
