President Vladimir Putin has recently stated that Russia has no problem with Finland and Sweden, but that NATO enlargement would bring an immediate reaction from the Kremlin.
At a summit of the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Putin says NATO enlargement is a problem for Russia and in the US interest.
Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he was closely monitoring Sweden and Finland 's bid to join NATO.
"This is a serious issue, an issue that raises our concern and we will follow it very carefully," he said.
