Putin accelerates the war in Ukraine to stave off the expansion of NATO. He may obtain territorial expansion in Luhansk and Donetsk but dodge politically. Finland and Sweden remain neutral in the world war and even during the cold war. But now this timetable had turned, both the countries find themselves on the verge of war with Russia. These countries are in jeopardy and the situation in Ukraine makes things more vulnerable. With the people's majority, both countries decided to be part of NATO.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan resents and utilizes his veto against the countries. Erdogan accused Sweden and Finland of providing a shield to militants. But he changes his mind, four hours of intense meetings with countries' leaders along with NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg bring them to reconcile. Erdogan played masterstroke and came out with a winning deal. His felicity is laying with three major dispenses
- Finland and Sweden lift the arms embargo on Turkey
- Kurdistan will not be braced anymore
- Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen who is blamed by Erdogan for the coup back in 2016, both countries will not support anymore.
Everything was very complicated at the beginning but during the coffee, break situation changed abruptly.
Impact on Russia
Erdogan is said to be an insider man for Putin in NATO. But peace talks for Russia and Ukraine happened because of Erdogan but they failed. Putin now lost his trust in Erdogan as turn out to be a double agent. Putin's invasion of Ukraine was to oust the influence westward and to strengthen the security on the border. But it seems to fail badly, now NATO has two more countries with well-equipped armor and economy. They are democratic and incorporated with European structures and both countries will build strategic landmass. Finland shares 1, 340 kilometers although Sweden doesn’t share a border both the countries lie in the Baltic Sea and it will be a threat to the Russian Baltic fleet. Finland and Sweden's addition to NATO will feel more humiliating to Putin and this will lead to a prolonged war in Ukraine. Former President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev told “Russia will deploy double the army in Baltic and secure its border with nuclear weapons”.
Russia is in no mood to forgive Finland and Sweden. This will change the holding position of countries in the world in geopolitics.
