Finland and Sweden one step closer to NATO membership as Turkey agrees
Finland and Sweden are one step closer to NATO membership after Turkey officially agrees to support their nominations
Turkey has officially agreed to support Finland and Sweden’s NATO membership applications, paving the way for the two Nordic nations to join the strategic alliance.
Lifting its veto, Turkey has now ended a weeks-long debate which has tested Western unity over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Finland’s President says the breakthrough comes after the three nations signed a joint memorandum to extend support against threats to each other’s security.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says the memorandum addresses Turkey’s concerns.
“I am pleased to announce that we now have an agreement that paves the way for Finland and Sweden to join NATO,” he told reporters at the NATO summit in Madrid.
“Turkey, Finland and Sweden have signed a memorandum that addresses Turkey’s concerns, including around arms exports and the fight against terrorism,”

This all happened just hours before a NATO summit began in Madrid, with leaders hoping to display unity in the face of Russian aggression.
Finland and Sweden’s application to join the nuclear-armed alliance is the biggest shift in European security in decades.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the leaders of the G7 nations on Monday, pressing them for more heavy weaponry and help to end the war before winter sets in.
It comes as Russia defaults on debt for the first time in a century.
