一言不合就调军队! 普京当面霸气警告芬兰总统!

Vladimir Putin came to Finland with a handshake for his counterpart, President Salui Niinisto – and a warning that Moscow will respond if his host country joins NATO.

弗拉基米尔·普京日前在与芬兰总统绍利·尼尼斯托的会面中当场警告，如果芬兰加入北约，俄方将采取行动。

Finland and neighbouring Sweden have increased cooperation with the Western military alliance since Russia's annexation of Crimea and its backing for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. This was Putin's first visit to Finland since those crises erupted in 2014.

在俄方兼并克里米亚和支持乌克兰东部分裂派以来，芬兰以及邻国瑞典与西方军事联盟国的合作就在不断增加。此次是自2014年这些事件爆发以来，普京首次出访芬兰。

He said Russia would respect Finland's decision if it decided to join NATO, but would respond.

普京表示，俄方将尊重芬兰的决定，但是如果芬兰加入北约，俄方也将采取行动。

"What do you think we will do in this situation? We moved our forces back, 1500 kilometres away – will we keep our forces there? " the Russian president said during a joint outdoor news conference.

这位俄罗斯总统在联合新闻发布会上说到："你认为在这种形势下俄方将如何应对？目前我们后撤了1500公里，但如果芬兰加入北约我们还会把部队放在那里吗？"

"How they assure the safety and independence of their own country is the Finns' choice. Undoubtedly we appreciate Finland's neutral status,"

"如何确保国家安全和独立是芬兰人民自己的选择。毋庸置疑的是，我们会尊重芬兰的中立地位。"

The presidents' meeting at Naantali comes amid increased Russian and NATO activity in the Baltic region. Finland is militarily neutral but interest in the possibility of joining the alliance has been rising.

双方领导人本次是在芬兰的纳坦利进行的会晤，这段期间俄罗斯与北约在波罗的海地区的活动日趋频繁。芬兰在军事层面一直中立，但是最近加入北约的呼声却越来越高。

The Baltic Sea has been the arena for a series of close encounters between Russian and Western aircraft in recent months. The Russian and Finnish presidents agreed to draw up security measures to control flights in the area.

近几个月来，波罗的海区域发生了多起俄罗斯与北约军机的擦枪走火事件。俄罗斯与芬兰双方领导人已经就制定安保措施、管控地区航空达成一致。
