Sweden and Finland confirm historic decision to join NATO

Sweden and Finland have confirmed they will apply for NATO membership, in a historic shift in defense policy fueled by the Russian war in Ukraine.

In Stockholm, the ruling Social Democrats said they had supported joining the military alliance, paving the way for membership applications.

Sweden remained neutral during World War II and for two centuries avoided joining military groups. A formal application is expected within days, but the Social Democrats made it clear they opposed opposing the stationing of nuclear weapons or NATO bases in their country. 
"Today, the Social Democrat party decided that Sweden should join NATO. Our 200-year-old policy of military neutrality has served Sweden well so far, but the question is whether it will serve us well in the future. "Russia's unprovoked aggression in Ukraine is not only illegal, but undermines the European security order, which Sweden also supports," said Magdalena Andersson.

The prime minister added that Sweden would be in a vulnerable position if it remained the only country in the Baltic region outside NATO.
The announcement comes shortly after Finland announced it would apply to join the North Atlantic Alliance. The country shares a 1,300-kilometer border with Russia and has so far stayed out of NATO, so as not to anger its eastern neighbor.

Announcing what he called a historic decision, President Sauli Niinisto said he had previously informed Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. 
Putin had earlier warned Finland that NATO membership would be a mistake, and cited Ukraine's intentions to do so as one of the reasons for the military operation.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, who met in Berlin as part of a summit of foreign ministers, said they were confident they would overcome Turkey's opposition to the two countries' membership.
Turkey accuses Sweden and Finland of backing the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which has been fighting the government for decades.
