Recall, according to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, if Finland or Sweden decide to apply for NATO membership, they can count on a positive response and an early entry procedure.
Meanwhile, The Times writes that Russia's mythical fear of expanding NATO's borders, which became one of the reasons for military aggression against Ukraine, is coming true..
