Der Weg von Finnland, Schweden zum NATO Beitritt
May 11, 2022 -
Russlands Invasion der Ukraine hat Finnland und Schweden dazu gebracht, dass sie in den nächsten Tagen Mitglied der NATO werden

By joining NATO, Finland and Sweden would be abandoning a belief held for decades that peace was best kept by not publicly choosing sides, according to Reuters.
Both countries have taken part in NATO exercises for years. Any accession process is expected to be much shorter than previous applications to join the alliance since the 1950s, Reuters said.
NATO was founded in 1949.
