Speaking at an influential think-tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Defence Minister minced no words on the resurgence of Finland's eastern neighbour, saying "the very survival of the Finnish nation is at stake".
"The three most important security challenges from Finland's point of view are Russia, Russia and Russia," he said.

Are we dealing with the same man in this article or there are two Häkämies'es?
