Finland | Nearly three months have passed since Russia's attack on Ukraine and the war has not reached a turning point. Meanwhile, Sweden and Finland are going to raise another challenge for Russia. Both the countries sharing the border with Russia have announced their membership of NATO. Now the parliaments of both the countries will pass a resolution in this regard and then the application will be presented before the NATO organization. It is being said that this entire process can be completed in two weeks. Meanwhile, Russia has threatened Sweden and Finland's plan that it will be a mistake and will have to bear the consequences.It is believed that due to the threat of Russia, now NATO will accelerate the involvement of both countries so that they can help them in any kind of military action.
