"When threatening situations turn into reality in conflict regions, we need to take an in-depth look at what really happened, what forces were used and how they were deployed," he said.
Every few years the government re-evaluates its long-term defence and security goals. The Cabinet Committee on Foreign and Security Policy is to submit its report this year to Parliament.
Speaking to journalists at his official residence Kesäranta on Monday, the Prime Minister said he sees no reason why Finland should be concerned. He pointed out that military forces are stationed in Finland's neighbouring regions and Finland has also made sure it can defend the area.
"We are in a completely different situation than Sweden, which is now considering change. The Swedes haven't built up their defence forces in many years," he said.
The Prime Minister added that Finland will continue to call for countries to uphold international rules, state autonomy and regional integrity.
"Now it's essential to launch the OSCE monitoring operation. Finland is prepared to help out," he says.
