Much of the buildup is happening in the Leningrad Military District, which borders Estonia, Latvia, and Finland. As part of a broader plan to increase the Russian army’s size to 1.5 million troops, small brigades stationed there are being expanded into full divisions of around 10,000 soldiers, the report said.

Putin, thats not a war you want to start except if youre planning to turn your military into ground meat. Right now finland could probably crush your army anyways but sweden and every other european country would support them anyway.
