NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has declared that he cannot guarantee Sweden and Finland membership in the alliance soon.
“My goal remains to ensure that Sweden and Finland join as soon as possible, but I cannot guarantee that,” Politico newspaper quoted Stoltenberg as saying on Wednesday in a press statement in Brussels.
