may 18, 2022 - Finland and Sweden set to Join NATO

Description:

Sweden is now set to join neighbouring Finland as a new Nato member, after Turkey's president withdrew a series of objections.
Finland officially joined the Western defensive alliance in April, bringing the number of member states to 31.

The two Nordic states have long maintained military neutrality, but that changed in February 2022 when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine - the biggest war on the European continent since World War Two.
