The international events of these two days, Sweden's official accession to NATO, should be one of them. A day after Sweden announced its accession to NATO, the Russian Baltic Fleet began preparations for war in the Baltic Sea by holding military exercises. In a short article welcoming Sweden to NATO, Lithuania threatened Russia that Kaliningrad would become the first neutral country to leave Russia if it dared to attack a NATO country. 1。Among the major international events in the past two days, Sweden's formal accession to NATO should be one of them.

On February 26, the Hungarian parliament overwhelmingly approved Sweden's application to join NATO. After nearly two years of intense negotiations, the Nordic countries have finally cleared the last hurdle to join NATO and become the 32nd member of NATO. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Christesson said at a press conference: "Sweden is saying goodbye to 200 years of neutrality and non-alignment. It's a big step to take seriously, but it's also a very natural one for Sweden. "We ......Joining NATO means that we are now back in the family of many democracies, working together for peace and freedom. This is a very successful milestone. "In the spring of 2022, after Russia's attack on Ukraine, the Nordic and Russian neighbors Sweden and Finland quickly submitted applications to join NATO. The Madrid Memorandum signed in June 2022 is a roadmap for NATO to take over the two countries, which originally planned for Sweden and Finland to join NATO at the same time, but Finland first joined NATO on April 4, 2023, because Turkey and Hungary put obstacles in the way for Sweden to join NATO. NATO is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, as the 31st member of NATO. Members.

After many contacts with NATO countries, Turkey, which has always had good relations with Putin, accepted Sweden's application to join NATO in January 2024. Hungary, which has the closest ties to Putin, is trying to help Russia covertly by putting obstacles in the way of Sweden's accession to NATO and the EU's additional 50 billion euros in aid to Ukraine in 2024. EU countries revoked their EU voting rights, and Orban announced an additional 50 billion euros in aid to Ukraine. Hungary finally made the decision to join Sweden's NATO when hundreds of thousands of Hungarians took to the streets in mid-February to oppose Orban's pro-Russian diplomatic line and demand Orban's resignation. 2。A day after Sweden announced its accession to NATO, the Russian Baltic Fleet began preparations for war in the Baltic Sea by holding military exercises.

Sweden and Finland have not joined any military alliance for two hundred years. Two years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, both Sweden and Finland joined NATO. Although Russia** Putin said that Moscow has no reason, no interest, no geopolitical interests, whether economic, political or military, to confront NATO countries. "I don't want to ruin my relationship with them. We are interested in developing a relationship. Who do we have problems with? No one. "They artificially create problems for us, because they don't want to have such a competitor in front of Russia. But the real actions of the Russians are not. The Interfax news agency quoted Russia's Baltic Fleet as saying on February 27 that Russia has begun preparations for war because of Sweden's accession to NATO. Ready, the Baltic Fleet held war exercises that day. According to the Baltic Navy, Russia's Kalibr and Moskva anti-ship missiles destroyed simulated enemy targets during the exercise, and the crews also simulated enemy unmanned artillery fire targets Kalibr and Moskit missile systems against targets simulated enemy detachments. At a great distance from the ship, "electronic missiles are carried out against simulated enemy coastal facilities." ”

At the same time, the press secretary of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, said that if Western countries decide to send troops to Ukraine, a war between Russia and NATO is inevitable. He threatened that the country that decided to send soldiers to help Kyiv should assess the situation in the same way. He called on those countries to reflect on whether it was in their interest and that of their citizens. 3.Lithuanian essay welcomes Sweden's accession to NATO, China threatens Russia. If it dares to attack NATO countries, Kaliningrad will become the first neutral country to leave Russia.

Although NATO is only a defense organization, and NATO has never attacked or threatened other countries, because NATO is a defense organization that protects each other, the NATO agreement clearly stipulates that as long as any country in the organization is attacked by other countries, it will be responsible for all NATO aggression of member countries, and all members of the organization must participate in joint resistance. So Sweden's accession to NATO after Finland completely changed the security situation between Russia and Europe, as well as the balance of power in Europe. On the other hand, Russia has been bullying and plundering its weak neighbors for almost a decade, successfully creating unrest in countries other than Russia and Belarus. All other European countries are not safe and seek to join NATO for protection. Russia** has recently repeatedly issued threats that Russia will attack Europe if Europe and the United States continue to assist Ukraine. As a small country in Eastern Europe and a member of NATO, Lithuania's foreign minister took the opportunity to congratulate Sweden on joining NATO and responded strongly to Russian military exercises and Peskov's threats.

On the afternoon of February 27, Lithuanian Ambassador to Sweden Linas Linkvičius posted on Musk's X platform: Welcome to the NATO family in Sweden! The NATO Parliament congratulates Sweden on its long-awaited news! Member states have now voted for Sweden to join NATO. Sweden's accession to NATO also strengthens defense cooperation between Lithuania and Sweden! It was a historic day, as all NATO allies agreed to join the alliance. NATO and the Baltic region are now stronger than ever. The allies are united by an unwavering collective commitment to ensure the security and defense of our nation. After Sweden joined NATO, the Baltic Sea became NATO's inland sea. If Russia dares to challenge NATO, Kaliningrad will be the first to be "suppressed" and become the first country to secede from Russia. Russia's previous false accusations that it was surrounded by NATO have now become a reality. One can imagine what effect this will have on Russia when Kaliningrad votes to secede from Russia and become independent. What will the demonstrator crowds look like in the other republics of Russia?
