NATO signed Finland and Sweden to join the protocol

The North Atlantic Treaty organized 30 member states to sign in Finland and Sweden to join the NATO Protocol on the 5th to formally "North Expansion" to NATO. At present, Russia's reaction will be unknown.

According to the procedures, the NATO member states will approve the linked books according to the procedure. Reuters reports that this process usually takes about one year.

After the signing of the assignment, the Secretary -General of NATO, Yanz Stoltenberg, the representatives of the member states of NATO, and the Foreign Minister of Finland and the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Stoltenberg said that the signing of the agreement was "historic moment." Swedish Foreign Minister Anlinde wrote in social media that the procedures for approved the submitted by each member state have been launched.

Although Finland and Sweden have not "followed the procedures", they can already participate in NATO conferences and obtain more NATO intelligence after the signing of the document. However, the two countries are currently not protected by NATO collective defense mechanism.

Following the subsequent approval of the lingering book, the Associated Press and other media reported that although Turkey, a member of NATO, has changed his mind and agreed with Sweden and Finland to join, the prospect of its approval of the agreement is still full of uncertainty.

Finland and Sweden officially submitted applications to NATO on May 18, and Turkey has repeatedly objected. The Three Kingdoms subsequently negotiated this round of consultations and signed a memorandum on June 28 to confirm that Turkey agreed to support Finland and Sweden to join NATO. The latter two promised to "comprehensive cooperation" with Turkey in the combination of Kurdish Workers' Party and its branches.

However, Turkish President Rejap Tidp Erdogan warned on June 30 that Finland and Sweden should first fulfill their promises, otherwise the promise will not be sent to the Turkish parliament for approval.

After the establishment of NATO, it has expanded 8 times before and after, and the number of member states has increased to 30. Many media reports that NATO has repeatedly expanded to the east of Russia. If it is "northern" to the two original Nordic countries, which have been neutral and long -term military -union -all -alliance, they may further intensify conflict with Russia.

Shortly before the signing of the promise, the mayor of La Pengta, which is adjacent to Russia in the southeast of Finnish, proposed to set up a NATO base in the city.

Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov replied on the 5th to answer questions on the 5th that how Russia responded to NATO bases that might be deployed in Russia, which will make a decision by the Russian Ministry of Defense, not the Presidential President's Kremlin Palace of the Presidential Palace Essence

He reiterated that Russian President Vladimir Putin has already evaluated Finland and Sweden to join NATO related matters. "We have said many times, we have related plans, we are working hard to ensure our safety."
