Likely just posturing and it wouldn't be the first time that they had missiles that close, but still an escalation. It's almost like they want to push Finland further towards NATO.
Eh, who cares. Seriously, it does not matter even a little bit for us where the nukes are exactly.

I struggle to see this as "an escalation", even an attempted one, even though NA media seems to want to call everything and anything an escalation and want to stir up the idea that there's some panic in Finland over every little thing. There's not.

Generally speaking there's less troops on the Finnish border than basically ever. Moving around some missiles doesn't change the big picture.

Putin already moved the goalposts from "Russia will not accept Finland joining NATO" to "Russia will not accept NATO bases in Finland".
