Henri Vanhanen appealed to the President of the Republic and the Council of State to prepare without delay a joint, public and up-to-date security situation assessment for Finns regarding the threats from Russia, preparedness for them, and responses to them. He stated that he had repeatedly proposed such an assessment. Vanhanen wrote that Finland's intelligence services and European authorities had warned about Russia's sabotage and influence operations. According to him, Europe had seen sabotage projects targeting the defense industry, drone disturbances, assassination plans, and serious airspace violations. He added that according to the Security Police, possible sabotage targets had been identified in Finland. Vanhanen believed that serious sabotage or other hostile influence by Russia could also happen in Finland, and in his view, discussion should not be postponed until the first serious strike. He hoped that the assessment would convey the seriousness of the threats, the actions taken to counter them, and citizens' own preparedness measures. Additionally, Vanhanen suggested that the assessment explain Finland's actions together with its allies in serious disturbance situations, as well as the support offered by NATO membership, intelligence cooperation, and joint operational possibilities. He justified his proposal with the need for transparency and trust and expressed his hope that the government leadership would address it without delay. #turvallisuus #suomi #venäjä (translated)

Henri Vanhanen described the recent message from the Security Police as very serious. According to him, Russia had identified possible sabotage targets in Finland's defense industry, although there were no indications of an immediate strike. Vanhanen wrote that the threat situation could change quickly and that Russia aimed to disrupt European defense industry and weaken support for Ukraine. Vanhanen demanded a systematic review of security arrangements for defense sector companies. He highlighted the importance of guarding production facilities, personnel security, subcontractors, and information systems, as well as the timely sharing of threat information by authorities and joint training for potential strikes. He suggested that the government initiate a national security assessment in cooperation with security authorities and the defense industry. According to him, this would help identify critical vulnerabilities, agree on protective measures, and ensure their funding. Vanhanen argued that securing the operational capability of the defense industry should not be left solely to the responsibility of the companies. https://t.co/wPB5qovW5y #Puolustusteollisuus #KansallinenTurvallisuus #Venäjä (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Finland should take seriously Russia's alleged plans to assassinate leaders of the European defense industry. According to him, European intelligence services had warned that Russia had intensified its assassination plots targeting business executives. Possible targets included not only large arms manufacturers but also smaller defense technology companies, especially manufacturers of drones and their components. Vanhanen referred to a plan revealed in 2024 to assassinate Armin Papperger, CEO of the German company Rheinmetall. He wrote that more recent intelligence data indicated broader and more systematic actions beyond individual cases. According to Vanhanen, Russia's intention was to undermine the European defense industry, intimidate its business leaders, complicate support for Ukraine, and disrupt the strengthening of Europe's defense capabilities. Vanhanen urged an urgent assessment of whether the protection of key personnel in Finland's defense industry is adequate. He suggested that the security police, police, and defense administration work together with companies to identify individuals at special risk and ensure preemptive action against threats. He proposed, if necessary, strengthening personal protection, enhancing counterintelligence efforts against companies, and improving information sharing among authorities. According to Vanhanen, Finland should not wait for the first attack on its territory before preparing. https://t.co/xVZMYe1R7e #Puolustusteollisuus #Venäjä #Suomi (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that he had been calling for a clearer situational picture of Russia's intelligence and influence activities towards Finland for some time. He viewed positively that, according to him, the message from the Security Police and the Defense Forces about the situation was now serious: Russian intelligence operations against Finland had intensified, cyber intelligence was active, and the interest was particularly focused on the defense industry. Vanhanen noted that the chief of the intelligence department of the General Staff had assessed that the intelligence operations targeting society and critical systems could be preparation for sabotage. According to him, Finland could thus become a target of Russian sabotage activities. He also wrote that, according to the Security Police, at least one small Finnish technology company had already been subject to verifiably increased intelligence activities. Vanhanen assessed that Russia aimed to weaken Ukraine's ability to continue the war by also influencing countries, businesses, and supply chains related to Western support. He warned that problems arising for companies supporting Ukraine could raise questions in Finland about the risks of support and serve Russia's objectives. Vanhanen suggested that the security of defense and technology companies should be proactively strengthened. He urged companies to check, among other things, their cybersecurity, the protection of their facilities, approaches to personnel, data access rights, supply chains, and unusual cooperation, recruitment, and investor contacts. He stated that especially small companies should be provided with easily accessible government support for identifying threats and improving security. According to Vanhanen, Russia's goal was to get Western countries to reduce their support for Ukraine. He believed that Finland should respond to possible pressure by better protecting the people and companies enabling support rather than changing its policies. https://t.co/f0INfDq1Zf #Venäjä #Suomi #Kyberturvallisuus (translated)

Okkonen wrote that the Security Police had told MOT that their warning was based on a report from the Swedish anti-racist Expo Foundation.

Sanna Haikala-Reyes wrote that Iran was attempting to infiltrate Iranian opposition groups, and that this had also happened in Finland. She reported receiving an English-language death threat that included a link in Persian, and speculated that the Security Police was monitoring the situation. According to Haikala-Reyes, a video recorded at a gathering of opposition activists held in Oodi, Helsinki, was sent to Iran's intelligence service. She wrote that a family member of a person who participated in the gathering while residing in Iran had been interrogated because of the video and that this person was now being threatened. Haikala-Reyes claimed that the events indicated that representatives of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) had infiltrated the ranks of freedom activists in Finland. #Iran #Suomi #vapausaktivistit (translated)

Paula Risikko oli sisäministerinä 22.6.2016-5.2.2018 Juha Sipilän hallituksessa. Vuodelta 2016 on varsin hyvä viranomaisaineisto. Poliisin tilastossa turvapaikanhakijoita oli rikoksesta epäiltynä 2 664 kertaa koko vuonna 2016. Näistä nimikkeistä esimerkiksi: tappo: 2 tapon yritys: 7 törkeä raiskaus: 11 raiskaus: 36 raiskauksen yritys: 11 törkeä lapsen seksuaalinen hyväksikäyttö: 7 lapsen seksuaalinen hyväksikäyttö: 29 seksuaalinen ahdistelu: 44 pakottaminen seksuaaliseen tekoon: 13 Vuoden 2017 vastaava poliisiaineisto kertoo turvapaikanhakijoiden olleen epäiltynä 2 690 rikoksesta. Vuoden 2017 aikana poliisin tietoon tulleissa raiskausrikoksissa ulkomaalaistaustaiset muodostivat merkittävän osan epäillyistä. Esimerkiksi tammi-maaliskuussa 2017 tunnetun epäillyn tapauksissa ulkomaan kansalainen oli epäiltynä 67 raiskausrikoksessa. Näistä 11 oli turvapaikanhakijoita. Elokuussa 2016 sisäministeriö itse totesi, että sisäisen turvallisuuden resurssien pitkän aikavälin kehitys oli ongelmallinen. Ministeriö katsoi, että poliisin, rajaturvallisuuden ja muiden turvallisuusviranomaisten resurssien ja kasvavien tehtävien välillä oli epäsuhta. Syyskuussa 2016 kaksi irakilaista turvapaikanhakijaa pahoinpiteli ja ryösti Otanmäessä vuonna 1964 syntyneen miehen. Uhri kuoli vammoihinsa. 14.6.2017 Suojelupoliisi nosti terrorismin uhka-arvion tasolle kohonnut. Risikko kertoi samassa yhteydessä, että Suomessa oli jo varauduttu kasvaneeseen uhkaan ja yleisötapahtumien turvatasoa oli nostettu. 18.8.2017 Turun terrori-isku: marokkolainen turvapaikanhakija Abderrahman Bouanane surmasi kaksi ihmistä ja haavoitti kahdeksaa. Risikko edisti Ankkurimallia, jossa poliisi, sosiaalitoimi, terveydenhuolto ja nuorisotyö tekevät yhteistyötä rikoksiin syyllistyvien tai niille alttiiden nuorten kanssa. Risikko nosti erityisesti esille sen käyttämisen väkivaltaisen radikalisoitumisen ehkäisyssä. Turun terrori-iskun jälkeen Risikko laittoi 12 miljoonaa euroa terrorismiin varautumiseen ja terrorismin ennaltaehkäisyyn, sekä vuoden 2018 budjettikehyksessä poliisille oli jo osoitettu 34,5 miljoonaa euroa resurssien turvaamiseen sekä erityisesti vihapuheen ja ääriliikkeiden torjuntaan, ja Supolle 3,5 miljoonaa euroa. Sen jälkeen kun on itse huolettomasti paskantanut pelilaudalle niin nuorten "väkivaltainen ajattelu" on ongelma. #sisäinen turvallisuus #turvapaikanhakijat #rikollisuus

Tämä on huolestuttava ja ehkä vakavakin asia? Huoli ainakin. Toivottavasti @Suojelupoliisi ja @DefenceFinland sekä @Sisaministerio selvittävät huolella ja pitää löytää tarvittaessa ratkaisu puuttua. #ahvenanmaa #turpo #maaomistus #kreml #putin https://t.co/X5ZNU25jMI #turpo #ahvenanmaa #maaomistus #FI #AX #RU

Ulkoministeri Elina Valtonen on tukenut ehdotusta siirtää suojelupoliisi ulkoministeriön alaisuuteen, mikäli asia käsitellään ensi kevään hallitusneuvotteluissa, ja pitää siirtoa tärkeänä resurssien turvaamiseksi sekä kansainvälisen yhteistyön mahdollistamiseksi. #Supo #Ulkoministeriö #Politiikka
