ChatGPT summary:

Russia reportedly planned disruptive campaigns to hinder Finland and Sweden’s NATO membership, as revealed in a leaked intelligence report obtained by Yle MOT. The document outlined a strategy involving organizing demonstrations under the guise of disruption to heighten tensions, particularly exploiting incidents like the Quran burning in Sweden. The objective was to sow discord and create a rift between Turkey and Europe, slowing down the NATO accession processes of both Nordic countries.

The Finnish Security Intelligence Service, Supo, confirmed awareness of these plans in Finland but refrained from providing further details due to operational considerations. While there’s no evidence that Russia successfully implemented its disruptive strategies in Finland, Sweden continues to await approval for NATO membership, with the Russian intelligence service allegedly focusing more on campaigns against Sweden to exploit existing tensions.

The leaked documents, prepared by a Russian intelligence officer, were obtained by The Dossier Center, an organization dedicated to tracking criminal activities associated with the Kremlin. The identity of the report’s author is known to the MOT investigation team but remains undisclosed for security reasons.
