The country became the 32nd member of Nato after it applied to join the alliance in the wake of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. ‘Sweden has come home,’ said Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson, while thanking Stoltenberg for his support throughout the process.

NATO ❤
That PM said: Israel has the right to do genos….
It feels fantastic that we now belong to the world's strongest guarantee for peace and democracy. Now pretty much all nations with Viking roots are gathered under the same flag. In combination with Finnish SISU, we are a force that will make a difference. A happy day worth celebrating/ Love to our allies/ Adam
A great day for NATO and Sweden. Thank you to both the people of Sweden and Finland for joining NATO.
You made the people from the Stop the War Coalition cry…
I get the impression that the Guardian disapproves.
After Russian troops hoist the Russian flag on Kiev, immediately Sweden will be invaded the very next day.
And we welcome another nation😊
Another lackey at the service of USA…
NATO – NO ACTION TALK ONLY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Putin is hurting a lot
CSTO
Welcome, very warm welcome Sweeden and about time thanks to Turkey and Hungry! USA
Putin became the greatest salesman forNATO😢😢😂
Ahhhh …. The Baltic sea …. If the Russian navy are now too afraid to sail in the Black sea, somehow I don't think they'll be switching operations to the Baltic 🤭
You know you’re on the wrong side of history when a 200 year old neutral country since the age of Napoleon joins against you.
Come home?, PATHETIC
As a native Swede i have the right to express my disgust over this ruling and denial of election. This process was both nondemocratic and appalling.
This unholy union will not survive.
Great to see their flag next to ours 🇸🇪🇹🇷
0:15…that looks like a Russian flag on the left 😅
Libya and Serbia wish you all the best !!
