In a tweet, he stated, "This is a historic day for Finland. I want to thank all NATO Allies for your great support throughout Finland’s NATO accession process. We are now one of the NATO countries, happy to be with you." NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg noted that Finland's accession to NATO would be a historic event and a direct result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
