The news was announced by the Secretary General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, who welcomed the request of Finland and Sweden to join NATO.
"You are our closest partners," Stoltenberg told reporters after receiving letters from the ambassadors of the two countries with a request to join the Alliance, reports AP.
The application for NATO membership now needs to be approved by 30 member states of the Alliance.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed reservations about the accession of Finland and Sweden to the Alliance. If the objections of the Turkish president are overcome, and the accession negotiations go as expected, these two countries could become members of NATO within a few months, according to the AP.
According to the U.S. agency, the accession process usually takes eight to 12 months, but NATO wants the process to be accelerated because of Russia.

And how do you know of Putin’s concerns? You actually talked to Vladimir? Or did you read it in Time magazine LOL?
Sadly Mario you and the others who crow about Putin’s "miscalculation" are not sufficiently intelligent to understand what is going on so there is no point in trying to explain it to you. All you read are western headlines, but didn't this same media say that the sanctions the west put on Russia would bring Moscow to its knees? Yet here we are today where the Russian Ruble is now 62 to US$, but prior to the conflict it was between 77 and 80 to USD$.
NATO is full of s*** and if they could they would have joined into the Ukraine fracas a long time ago, but since their “superior” US equipment such as the Stinker and javelin missiles, switchblade drones, M113 Armoured carrier all proved to be complete failures the US is now training ISIS fighters in Syria to fight against the Russians. Pathetic US ha,ha,ha.
