NATO is ready to approve the membership of Finland and Sweden in the alliance and can do it in one day. This is reported by Yle with reference to the words of former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
At the same time, Rasmussen believes that such a move by NATO would be a “major defeat” for Russia, given the current situation. According to the former general secretary, the “window of opportunity” is now open, and Russian President Vladimir Putin is busy with another region. In addition, at present, membership in the alliance is in the interests of both countries.
Earlier, Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said that the country does not intend to join NATO now – this threatens “increased tension and destabilization in Europe.” “If Sweden applies, it will destabilize this part of Europe even more,” she said.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, in turn, said that Finland and Sweden would participate in all alliance consultations on the situation in Ukraine.
Let’s add, Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin stated that the country is ready to apply for membership in NATO, if such a need arises in the interests of national security.
