Via UK media:

  • President of Finland and his wife abruptly flew out off the Baltic island chain
  • Strategic Åland islands are a demilitarised and vulnerable region of Finland
  • Hours before Putin had issued veiled threat about retaking Russian lands
  • Russian navy had been spotted in the Baltic near the undefended islands
  • The Baltic has been very tense since Finland and Sweden applied to join NATO

And:

  • Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and wife Jenni Haukio... had been due to have dinner with Sweden's King Carl Gustav XVI and Queen Silvia but that was cancelled.
  • Sweden's royal pair stayed on and attended the opening of an evening concert but left part-way through

And:

  • Local news sites reported Russian frigates had begun a drill in the Baltic Sea off the enclave of Kaliningrad. Nato are also conducting exercises in the region.

There is not much margin for error in this ongoing tension.
