Summary
ProfileSectionstvFeaturedMore From NBCFollow NBC NewsFinland’s leaders announced Thursday their intention for the country to join NATO “without delay,” a move that would bolster the Western military alliance that was founded to counter the power of the Kremlin.The Nordic nation, which shares an 810-mile border with Russia, is expected to be given rapid accession to join the alliance and neighboring Sweden looks set to follow with its own bid in the coming days.Moscow said Finland’s move was a threat that would “not make our continent more stable and secure” as Russian President Vladimir Putin confronted the prospect of his war in Ukraine resulting in the very opposite of the goals it was launched to achieve.Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and Prime Minister Sanna Marin announced their support for the decision in a joint statement early Thursday.“NATO membership would strengthen Finland’s security.
