Finnish president says his country faces difficult decision if Turkey says yes to Helsinki but no to Stockholm
Ireland’s first ambassador to Ukraine: ‘To see the pain inflicted by this unjustified invasion really resonates with me’But impatience is growing in Finland to get on with it, particularly among politicians who face parliamentary elections on April 2nd.
At the weekend, Finnish president Sauli Niinistö said his country faced a difficult decision if Turkey said yes to Helsinki but no to Stockholm. Joining them at the meeting, Norwegian leader Jonas Gahr Störe agreed that Finland will be become a Nato member as soon as all member states back its application.After decades of non-alignment, Finnish public opinion flipped in favour on Nato membership shortly after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Finland shares a 1,340km border with Russia and Ukraine’s fate has stirred up painful memories of Finland’s winter war of 1939.
