Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February pushed a potential Nato entry to the top of the agenda in both nations, which have long shunned membership even as they have clearly tightened co-operation with the bloc over the past years. Russia has repeatedly warned both with potential consequences, with President Vladimir Putin seeking guarantees against widening the bloc before the invasion of Ukraine.
While opinion polls in neighbouring Sweden reflect a similar change, its ruling Social Democrats have so far publicly opposed such a move. A potential entry application could be filed before the 30-member bloc is set to meet for a summit in Madrid June 29-30.
