Finnish joining the alliance marks the end of the era of Finnish military unclear.Finland repelled the invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II. After that, he chose to maintain neutrality, even if he did not join NATO during the Cold War.
Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year, which made Finland, which borded to Russia, and sought NATO umbrella.NATO's collective defense agreement stipulates that any contractor encounters armed attacks will be regarded as an attack on all contractors.
The Chairman of the NATO Military Commission Ball said Helsinki did not require NATO member states to be garristed in the Finnish territory."Whether we will be in the Finnish army depends entirely on Finland."
Eastern Finland borders Russia, with a boundary of 1,300 kilometers. After joining, it is equivalent to double the boundary between NATO and Russia.
Ball said that although NATO has more territories now needs to be defended, Finland has very powerful troops to assist NATO.
Finland originally hoped to join NATO together with neighboring countries that also do not have an alliance with military alliances to maximize the security between each other.The two countries applied for the Alliance last year, but Turkey and Hungary, members of NATO, obstructed Sweden to enter the league based on their own reasons.
Finnish President Ninito issued a statement after official joining Finland, saying that Finland will work hard to ensure that Sweden becomes a member of NATO.He said: "Without Sweden, the qualifications of Finland are incomplete."
NATO diplomats believe that Turkey will approve Sweden to join the Alliance after the presidential and parliamentary elections in May, and Hungary will follow up.
