We're ready to consider Nato membership - Finland's foreign minister
Finland’s foreign minister has told the BBC that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was the turning point for his country, upending decades of public support for non-military alignment.
Pekka Haavisto also said that he wants Finland to join Nato as soon as possible and the country will officially announce its application at the beginning of next week, if parliament gives the green light.
