NATO envoys failed to reach a consensus

NATO envoys failed to reach a consensus on whether to start membership talks with Finland and Sweden, diplomats said, as Turkey renewed its objections to the two Nordic countries joining. The envoys met at NATO’s headquarters in Brussels after Finland and Sweden’s ambassadors submitted written applications to join the military organisation, in a move that marks one of the biggest geopolitical ramifications of Russia’s war on Ukraine - and which could rewrite Europe’s security map.
