There are no gymnastics - previously Finland and Russia had a diplomatic relationship.
Now if Russia has a conflict with one of the Baltic states, Finland is dragged into it.
Before a war between Lithuania and Russia would not involve Finland necessarily. Now Finland has pledged a war between Lithuania and Russia would involve Finland.
Not many mental gymnastics are needed - to a person who reaches the level of average intelligence any how.
You cannot have a diplomatic relationship with a warmonger on a quest to restore the pre-1917 Russian empire - which Finland was a part of. Simple risk management. I suggest you tone down your smug tone of voice as clearly you have an incomplete view of the crisis
You conveniently omit the part where russia should not have a conflict with any of the states you mentioned.
You are just doing the genocidal russia crocodile tears: why can't I invade all the countries? Why everyone so mean that they gang up against me to protect each other?
