Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if it was part of NATO: Finnish PM
Ukraine sought NATO membership in 2008, but that was foiled by angst from Western allies and domestic debate amid fears of alienating the Kremlin. Marin explained that Finland's recent bid to join NATO is rooted in her belief that Russian President Vladimir Putin wouldn't attack a NATO member.
“We want to become a member of NATO because we don’t ever again want war in Finland,” Marin added, voicing hope for ratification to take place “as fast as possible.” “There shouldn’t be any problems, and I have also personally talked with [Turkish] President [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, and he said ... that there isn’t that big of issues with Finland, maybe some with Sweden, but for our perspective, it’s very important that Finland and Sweden are going to NATO together because we are sharing the same security,” Marin continued.
