The President of Lithuania called on Finland and Sweden to join NATO as soon as possible: it became known why

According to the Lithuanian leader, the accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO will improve the situation in the Baltic region.

President of Lithuania Gitanas Nauseda urged Finland and Sweden not to delay joining NATO, because this, they say, will strengthen the security of the Baltic countries and strengthen the Western military alliance.

“The accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO will improve the security situation in the Baltic region. We will be able to better control the Baltic region from a military point of view. But it will also strengthen NATO as an organization,” Nauseda stressed.

The Lithuanian President rejected Russia’s threats about Finland’s desire to join NATO. Moscow has been storing nuclear weapons threatened by Helsinki in its Kaliningrad exclave for years, he said. He also noted that Finland and Sweden only respond to Russian aggression.
