This is a historic day for Sweden and Euro-Atlantic security. Congratulations to Ulf Kristersson and all Swedes.

Sweden's accession will undoubtedly strengthen the Alliance, particularly in light of the Russian threat to the free world.

We look forward to working closely with Sweden and other NATO allies to advance Ukraine's NATO membership.

With Finland and Sweden joining NATO as its 31st and 32nd allies, the Baltic Sea has been transformed into a sea of NATO and peace. With Ukraine as NATO's 33rd ally, this will also apply to the Black Sea.
