It will be a historic day tomorrow when Finland joins the NATO defence alliance. After decades of military neutrality, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has prompted the Finns to completely rethink their defence policy in order to preserve their country's existence. At NATO headquarters in Brussels, a new flagpole has been erected on which Finland's flag will be proudly hoisted tomorrow.
In 2004 Estonia joined NATO and it was one of the best decisions the country has ever made.
