Solberg: Norway must contribute to Finnish security before NATO accession
The case is being updated.
– It is obvious that Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine is the direct reason why Finland wants to join NATO. That NATO is now expanding eastwards is therefore due to Russia’s own actions, says Conservative leader Erna Solberg to NTB.
It is very important that the time between Finland’s application and a formal incorporation into the alliance is as short as possible, she says.
– Norway must participate in the necessary security arrangements for Finland during this period.
Solberg says it is positive that Finland will join the alliance, and that it will make Nordic defense co-operation even closer.
