Nad: Finland & Sweden joining NATO would mean stronger defence of Europe

If Finland and Sweden actually join NATO, it'll be a great day for Europe's security, Defence Minister Jaroslav Nad (OLaNO) stated on Thursday, noting that he's particularly pleased with the interest shown by the two Nordic countries in becoming part of the Alliance. "[Russian President Vladimir] Putin needs to be given credit for one thing he has actually accomplished; he has strengthened NATO considerably," Nad remarked on his Facebook account.
