Decoding the geopolitical implications of Finland and Sweden joining NATO | In Focus
Manage episode 329140873 series 2606066
One of the primary justifications given by Russian for its invasion of Ukraine was the relentless eastward expansion of NATO. But now two more countries in Russia’s neighbourhood – Sweden and Finland – have announced their decision to join NATO. Finland shares a 1,340km long border with Russia. This means that even as Russia is trying to build a buffer between Russia and a pro-NATO Ukraine in the Donbas region, Russia’s land border with NATO is set to double.
How does Finland and Sweden joining NATO change the strategic dynamics of the region? And what are Russia’s options in terms of a response?
