Yearbook 2022: Finland’s national security is characterised by a war in Europe

The exceptional nature of 2022 has been evident in the work of security authorities. Aggressive behaviour by the Russian state remains the single greatest threat to Finland’s national security. That is also why Russia is the central theme of this yearbook. The tensions in our security situation highlight the need for reliable intelligence. Policymakers must have accurate situation awareness regarding Finland’s security and associated threats. Supo gathers, analyses and reports intelligence that Finland’s state leadership cannot obtain from other sources. Such intelligence is important and unique.
