In a bold move signaling their defiance of Russian threats, the governments of Sweden and Finland have reportedly reached an agreement to simultaneously submit applications for NATO membership, Your Content has learned.

According to reputable newspapers in both countries, this significant step is scheduled to take place in the middle of next month.

The recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia has ignited a strong desire among Nordic nations to align themselves with NATO.
