Stoltenberg: Finland and Sweden's applications to join NATO will be fast-tracked
NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg has said that Sweden and Finland's applications to join the alliance will be fast-tracked.
Explaining the decision behind her country's intention to become a member, Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said abandoning decades of political neutrality was a direct result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
During a speech to Sweden's parliament, Andersson said that joining NATO "would not be without consequences."
