MADRID: NATO ally Turkey lifted its veto over Finland and Sweden's bid to join the Western alliance on Tuesday after the three nations agreed to protect each other's security, ending a weeks-long drama that tested allied unity against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
It means Helsinki and Stockholm can proceed with their application to join the nuclear-armed alliance, cementing what is set to be the biggest shift in European security in decades, as the two, long-neutral Nordic countries seek NATO protection. The steps for Finland and Sweden's accession to NATO will be agreed on in the next two days, Niinisto said.
Naive... One of the most important thing we all learn from this Russia-Ukraine conflict is that there will be no agreement NATO, EU and US will honour.
