Trump’s corrupt bargains with Putin will not pass. Ukrainian strength and the steely resolve of its European allies will restore the authority of international security law — and the toxic Trump–Putin duo will be decisively repudiated and held to account.

Notably, Finland is russia's only European neighbour whose airspace hasn't been violated by russia.
Might it be that russia didn't want to provoke the country that is best prepared to successfully repel such attacks, which would have put a premature end to these provocations?
