BRUSSELS – Sweden´s flag was raised at NATO headquarters on Monday, cementing the Nordic country´s place as the 32nd member two years after Russia´s full-scale invasion of Ukraine persuaded its reluctant public to seek safety under the alliance´s security umbrella.
Sweden set aside decades of post-World War II neutrality when it formally joined NATO on March 7. The neighboring nation of Finland had already joined in April 2023 in another historic move ending years of military nonalignment. Finland’s defense ministry welcomed “our brothers and sisters in arms,” saying on X, formerly Twitter, that “now we stand at the beginning of a new era. Together and with other allies in peace, in crisis and beyond.”
“When President Putin launched his full-scale invasion two years ago, he wanted less NATO, and more control over his neighbors. He wanted to destroy Ukraine as a sovereign state, but he failed,” Stoltenberg said. “We have chosen you, and you have chosen us. All for one, and one for all,” Kristersson said, and he vowed that his country would uphold the values enshrined in NATO´s founding Washington Treaty.
