HELSINKI/BRUSSELS - Finland will become a member of Nato on Tuesday (April 4), completing a historic security policy shift triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while neighbour Sweden is kept in the waiting room. The military alliance will welcome Finland as its 31st member in a flag-raising ceremony at Nato headquarters on the outskirts of Brussels, attended by Finnish President.
The event marks the end of an era of military non-alignment for Finland that began after the country repelled an invasion attempt by the Soviet Union during World War Two and opted to try to maintain friendly relations with neighboring Russia
