Finland joins NATO
Finland yesterday became NATO’s 31st member state, a strategic defeat for Russia and its leader, Vladimir Putin, who had attempted to block the alliance’s expansion but instead galvanized Finland to join amid the devastating war in Ukraine. The Finnish flag was raised at NATO headquarters, and President Sauli Niinisto of Finland declared, “It is a great day for Finland.”
NATO’s commitment to collective defense will now extend to a country that shares an 830-mile border with Russia. Finland’s artillery forces are the largest and best equipped among European NATO members, with 700 howitzers, 700 heavy mortars and 100 rocket launcher systems.
Many details about how Finland will integrate into the alliance are still to be determined. A new Finnish government, which is still to be formed after an election on Sunday, must decide whether the country will accept foreign troops on its soil, or even nuclear weapons belonging to its allies.
Sweden: Finland had wanted to join “hand in hand” with Sweden, but that process was upended because Turkey and Hungary objected. Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has called for Sweden to extradite figures he regards as terrorists, including Kurds and others who he believes supported the 2016 coup attempt against him.
