Sweden and Finland agree to submit Nato applications, say reports
瑞典和芬兰同意提交北约申请
4.完整新闻内文:
Sweden and Finland have agreed to submit simultaneous membership applications
to the US-led Nato alliance as early as the middle of next month, Nordic
media have reported.
The Finnish daily Iltalehti said on Monday that Stockholm had “suggested the
two countries indicate their willingness to join” on the same day, and that
Helsinki had agreed “as long as the Swedish government has made its decision
”.
The Swedish newspaper Expressen cited government sources as confirming the
report. The two countries’ prime ministers said this month they were
deliberating the question, arguing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had changed
Europe’s “whole security landscape” and “dramatically shaped mindsets”
in the Nordic region.
Finland’s prime minister, Sanna Marin, said then that her country, which
shares a 1,300km (810 mile) border with Russia, would decide whether to apply
to join the alliance “quite fast, in weeks not months”, despite the risk of
infuriating Moscow.
Her Swedish counterpart, Magdalena Andersson, said Sweden had to be “
prepared for all kinds of actions from Russia” and that “everything had
changed” when Moscow attacked Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly warned both
countries against the move.
The Kremlin said it would be forced to “restore military balance” by
strengthening its defences in the Baltic, including by deploying nuclear
weapons, if the two countries decided to abandon decades of military
nonalignment by joining Nato.
Sweden’s foreign minister, Ann Linde, said last week a wide-ranging security
policy review would be concluded by 13 rather than 31 May as originally
planned, adding that with Finland’s analysis already published “there is
now a lot of pressure”.
Expressen said the simultaneous applications could be submitted in the week
of 16 May, coinciding with a state visit to Stockholm by the Finnish
president Sauli Niinistö. The Guardian could not independently confirm the
reports.
Recent opinion polls have shown as many as 68% of Finns are in favour of
joining the alliance, more than double the figure before the invasion, with
only 12% against. Polling in Sweden suggests a slim majority of Swedes also
back membership.
Both countries are officially nonaligned militarily, but became Nato partners
– taking part in exercises and exchanging intelligence – after abandoning
their previous stance of strict neutrality when they joined the EU in 1995
after the end of the cold war.
原文大纲翻译
北欧当地媒体超报导指明，瑞典与芬兰将在下个月中旬提交加入北约的申请。
芬兰总理早前就表示: 申请加入北约，需要的是几周而不是几个月，尽管这有可能激怒
莫斯科。而另一位瑞典官员也表明:瑞典必须为俄罗斯的种种行为做好准备。
俄罗斯仍然是持续警告这两国，此次申请行动会改变波罗的海的战争防御板块，例如俄
将会在周遭区域部署核武，借此达到"军事平衡"。
瑞典媒体表示北约申请很有可能是在5/16提交，不过目前为止卫报还无法证实这项消息
民意调查显示68%的芬兰人支持加入北约，这是俄国入侵乌克兰时的两倍，并且此时只有
12%的人表示反对。瑞典也有不少的民众也支持加入。
