#OTAN | Le Parlement 🇫🇷 a ratifié l'adhésion de la Suède & de la Finlande hier soir. "L’adhésion de la Suède & de la Finlande rendra notre alliance NATO plus forte pour défendre nos valeurs, nos modes de vies et notre liberté face à ceux qui les menacent." Catherine Colonna 02/08/22

I welcome the Senate’s ratification of NATO membership for Finland and Sweden. Finland and Sweden are longtime, stalwart partners, and I look forward to a quick and complete ratification by other NATO members as a commitment to Transatlantic security.

2/8. It’s not just Russian forces in Ukraine that are in retreat. Putin himself is clearly afraid. He’s done something he plainly didn’t want to do. Announcing mobilization shows he fears his fascist rivals more than he fears the Russian public.

Incredible opportunity to hear directly from president Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський as he spoke with the Yale community today. ”We should not give Russia even the smallest hope that its terror can work. — It is for us to determine the future of the free world.” 🇺🇦

The long wait is over. Finland will become a full member of NATO tomorrow. Have been waiting for this moment most of my adult life. Lost hope at some stage. Tomorrow will be a cause for celebration. By the Summit in Vilnius in July, we will be celebrating together with Sweden.

Sincere congrats to Finland & President Sauli Niinistö on joining NATO on the 74th anniversary of its founding. NATO became the only effective security guarantee in the region amid Russian aggression. We expect #NATOSummit in Vilnius will bring Ukraine closer to our Euro-Atlantic goal

Had a pleasure to meet today with Janne Känkänen and his team Huoltovarmuuskeskus (HVK). Discussed #resilience and possibilities of 🇺🇦🇫🇮 cooperation. Grateful for your unwavering support of Ukraine and willingness to help in the rebuilding! #StrongerTogether

What a picture !!! Joint press conference after the second round of the 🇫🇮presidential elections. Finns know how important it is to avoid generating divisions/polarisation in society. This is very important in today's times. @minna_alander I've always wondered: How do you do it?
