Sweden expected to follow suit in bid to join allianceHELSINKI/KHARKIV, Ukraine, May 12 - Finland said on Thursday it would apply to join NATO "without delay", with Sweden expected to follow, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine looked set to bring about the very expansion of the Western military alliance that Vladimir Putin aimed to prevent.
It came even as Russia's war in Ukraine was suffering another big setback, with Ukrainian forces driving Russian troops out of the region around the second largest city Kharkiv, the fastest Ukrainian advance since forcing Russia to withdraw from the capital and northeast more than a month ago.In Geneva, the U.N.
"Finland must apply for NATO membership without delay," President Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin said in a joint statement.
Ah tell Putin he can go pound snow up his whatever orifice of choice. Ugh what pray that thing is.. that “putin” thing. No way can I refer to It as a “He”. “It” is not worthy of being a “He”. It’s but a lump putrid rotted and organic matter. It’s stench is impossible to bear!
Finland shares an 800 + mi border with Russia.
Again, the problem is Russia, not NATO, nor Finland
This is needed, but I wonder if walling in the Bear just provokes it? Post-Putin we must find a way to join hands with the Russians and unite Asia peacefully.
What's Putin gonna do? Declare war on Finland?
Good luck with that. Finland will be setting up a satellite capital in St. Petersburg if Russia tries any stupid sh!t.
See what you did, you made me so mad, you made me punch you.
Oh no, Russia is going to sink some of its ships off the coast of Finland next!
