Finland Formally Joins NATO, Doubling Military Alliance’s Border with Russia

HeadlineApr 04, 2023

Finland is formally joining NATO today in a move that doubles NATO’s border with Russia. Finland and Russia share an 800-mile border. Finland is joining the military alliance a week after Turkey’s parliament voted to ratify Finland’s membership. Turkey and Hungary have yet to approve Sweden as a member of NATO. The Kremlin decried Finland joining NATO as an “assault on our security.” We will have more on this story later in the program.
