Swedish Foreign Affairs Minister, Ann Linde said: "Today the Swedish Social Democratic Party took a historic decision to say yes to apply for a membership in the NATO defence alliance. "The Russian invasion of Ukraine has deteriorated the security situation for Sweden and Europe as a whole." In a statement, the Social Democrats, Sweden's ruling party, said: "The party board has at its meeting on May 15, 2022 decided that the party will work toward Sweden applying for membership in NATO."

This comes just hours after Finland announced it will apply to become part of the alliance.

Responding to Finland's decision to apply for NATO membership, Putin warned the country's President Sauli Niinistö that it is making a "mistake".

In a call with President Niinistö, Putin claimed that Finland faces "no security threats".

But Putin was told Russia's invasion of Ukraine and cyber-attacks on Finland and Sweden have "altered the security environment".

However, the Finnish leader said that the call was "conducted without aggravations" as both parties worked to "avoid tensions".

Announcing Finland's decision to proceed with a NATO application, Mr Niinistö said: "Today, the President of the Republic and the Government's Foreign Policy Committee have jointly agreed that Finland will apply for NATO membership, after consulting parliament.

"This is a historic day.

"A new era is opening."

Prime Minister Sanna Marin added: "We have reached today an important decision in good cooperation with the government and the president of the republic.

"We hope the parliament will confirm the decision to apply for the NATO membership during the coming days.

"It will be based on a strong mandate."

The move brings an end to Finland's long-standing commitment to military non-alignment, which has been pursued by the country for 75 years.

Putin has repeatedly warned of consequences if Finland joins the alliance.

But earlier this week Mr Niinistö hit back, saying that "joining NATO would not be against anyone."

He said his response to Putin is: "You caused this. Look in the mirror."

Foreign ministers from the 30 NATO member states are holding two days of talks this weekend in Berlin, focussing on the two latest membership bids.

While applications to join NATO typically take up to a year, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that NATO will attempt to ensure a "quick ratification process".

She said: "Germany has prepared everything to do a quick ratification process.

"We must make sure that we will give them security guarantees, there must not be a transition period, a grey zone, where their status is unclear."

IT IS ALL OVER

Putin never experredit

His aggression has caused to happen what he claimed he wanted to prevent

Eweleke

Finland and Sweden Back to Back

Putin..... The Protégé of Adolf Hitler.

See what your Aggression has caused.

Before you Invaded Ukraine, NATO was considered Brain dead.

That even Donald Trump called it an Obsolete Alliance and he even threatening to pull the United States out of the Alliance.

But today, NATO now has a New Lease on Life.

NATO is now the Darling of European countries that are seeking refuge from the Imperialistic attitude and plans of Putin's Russia.

Putin's Aggression = NATO's Relevance.

I don't blame any EU country that want to join NATO at the moment because...

When a Notorious Land Grabber is on rampage, it is time to be locate your Pillars, build Fence and mount a Strong Gate to ward off the Trespasser.

The USA masterplan playing out. NATO territory and boundaries with Russia will only increase.

And same time use the war to stretch Russian economy to breaking points. Putin should know he will fight forever at the detriment of his economy cos NATO will keep pumping funds in to the war.

So much tears for Russia and many more to come.

One Zircon or SATAN II missile will end the so-called war in minutes.

This is 2022 not 1945. Wake up.

Applying is always free, accepting the request na the issue. Turkey president have already said both of them can't join NATO. A repeat of when Germany and France opposed Ukraine from joining is about to play out.

Is that the war you see playing out? Why hasn't Russia landed one in Ukraine? Putin just be chest-beating about nuclear weapons. He cannot use it and knows the consequences.

This is an hybrid war. The strategy is o weaken Russia to great extents. Look at North Korea today, with all its Nuclear warhead and threats, its been isolated and rendered useless. That's where Russia is being driven to and Putin is falling for it

To the West, their mission is over 50% to completion.

Go and push the red button na

You think Putin would be allowed to push that button? Do you think he alone can push the button?

This war is beyond Putin right now and even he knows it. He may sleep tomorrow and not wake up again out of frustration

Bros,

Forget about Turkey. President Erdogan is looking for Concessions and Security Guarantees.

The PKK members in both Scandinavian countries would be used as a bargaining chip and a compromise would be reached.

Turkey is ready for Negotiations.

Mark my word...... Very soon, Turkey would fall in line with other members in favour of both countries joining NATO.

The body language of the Turkish foreign minister yesterday in Berlin shows that they are willing to Align after Negotiations

Hungary is a Bigger threat to the Ascension of Finland and Sweden.

Viktor Orban would not want to be seen as betraying his man in the Kremlin..

I am waiting for what Viktor Orban would say about this matter..... It will be very interesting.

Croatia's Pro-Russian President Zoran Milanović is another threat.

The guy said earlier this month that he would veto the Ascension of both nations if he was representing Croatia at the NATO summit.

But if the meeting is held at the North Atlantic Council, he said that he cannot persuade the Croatian Ambassador to embrace his position.

Russia won't smile at this either

They are joining. Turkey's demand where simple

I admire the courage and leadership prowess of Putin before the war BUT he calculated this one wrong! because his worst fear is exactly what Finland and Sweden are doing, now the Ukraine war has exhausted his ability to attack Finland talk less of attacking both Sweden and Finland.

Putin don buy market. He took the wrongest decision by invading Ukraine and now he has created more problems for Russia than he was trying to solve. I see more countries running to NATO for protection against a dictator like Putin.
Let's see whether Russia can attack Sweeden and Finland while still being given bloody nose by Ukraine.

Russia won't stop because we pray for Russia to succeed and defeat the evil globalization cult nato
