Hungarian parliamentarians approved Finland's admission to NATO with almost 97 percent of the vote
Today, the Hungarian Parliament approved a document providing for Finland's entry into the North Atlantic Alliance. Recall that Finland filed a joint application with Sweden to join NATO last year. At the same time, the authorities of Finland and Sweden declared that they would join NATO "only together." However, time passed, and against the backdrop of difficulties and disagreements that arose, Finland decided not to wait for its Scandinavian neighbors and is ready to join the Western military bloc alone - without Sweden.
Now, in order for Finland to join NATO, it needs to obtain the consent of the Turkish parliament. The other member countries of the alliance have already given their consent. It is believed that Turkish parliamentarians can approve the Finnish application in the coming weeks - until May 14, when presidential elections will be held in Turkey.
In the Finnish parliament, the application for Finland's accession to NATO was approved by 96,8% of those who voted - 182 parliamentarians.
Recall that Russia announced the creation of new military units in the north-west of the country in the event of Finland joining NATO. The fact is that with such an entry, NATO and Russia will have an additional 1000 km of a common border. Accordingly, Russia cannot leave such a challenge unanswered. Another question: why is it Finland, with which for a long time there were quite constructive relations? The answer can only be that in Finland the local elites are not independent and are ready to do everything that they are told by the “main ally” - the one across the ocean.
