Sweden joining NATO shows Putin 'failed': Stoltenberg
Quick Glance: Sweden's NATO Accession Highlights Putin's Failure
  • NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg stated that Sweden joining the US-led alliance demonstrates Russian President Vladimir Putin's failure in his Ukrainian war strategy.

  • The Kremlin's invasion led not only to formerly non-aligned nations Sweden and Finland coming under NATO's defense umbrella, but also brought Ukraine closer to NATO membership than ever before, according to Stoltenberg.

  • Sweden officially joined NATO last Thursday in Washington, where Kristersson handed over the relevant documents at the US State Department. Following this, he participated in an event alongside other world leaders.

  • Stoltenberg mentioned that a negotiated peace for Ukraine is possible, but only if Putin withdraws his forces. He emphasized the need to continue strengthening Ukraine to show Putin that he will not achieve his goals on the battlefield but must engage in negotiations for a solution.
