This Perspective examines the contributions that Finland and Sweden can make to NATO, having joined in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. It examines the path each nation took towards NATO membership, after a long history of armed neutrality and military non-alignment. It also explores what they bring to the Alliance in terms of military capability, innovation, resilience and emergency preparedness.
