The US Senate will vote on Wednesday to admit Finland and Sweden to NATO, the 30-member alliance's most significant expansion since the 1990s, as it grapples with the fallout from Russian aggression in Ukraine.
The 100-member Senate is expected to easily approve the measure while requiring a two-thirds majority, or the 67 votes needed to support ratification of both countries' NATO accession documents.
Shumica e demokratëve dhe republikanëve kanë shprehur mbështetje të fortë për zgjerimin. Muajin e kaluar, Komisioni i Senatit për Marrëdhëniet me Jashtë mbështeti ratifikimin gjatë një votimi me zë, ku vetëm një nga 22 anëtarët nuk u prononcua.
Udhëheqësi i shumicës demokrate në Senat, Chuck Schumer ftoi ambasadorët dhe diplomatët e tjerë të dy vendeve në Uashington, për ta ndjekur debatin dhe votimin.
“Votimi për NATO-n është një votë shumë e rëndësishme për sigurinë amerikane në mbarë botën. Anëtarësimi i Finlandës dhe Suedisë do ta forcojë edhe më tej NATO-n dhe kjo është edhe më urgjente duke patur parasysh agresionin rus”, tha zoti Schumer në fjalën e hapjes para Senatit të mërkurën.
Finlanda dhe Suedia aplikuan për anëtarësim në NATO në përgjigje të agresionit rus në Ukrainë. Moska i ka paralajmëruar vazhdimisht të dy vendet kundër anëtarësimit në aleancë.
30 vendet anëtare të NATO-s nënshkruan muajin e kaluar protokollin e pranimit të Finlandës dhe Suedisë, duke i lejuar ato vende të bashkohen me aleancën e cila ka armë bërthamore, sapo anëtarët e saj ta ratifikojnë vendimin.
Në atë pikë, Helsinki dhe Stokholmi ishin në gjendje të merrnin pjesë në takimet e NATO-s dhe të kanë qasje më të madhe mbi të dhënat e zbulimit, por nuk mbrohen nga Neni 5 i aleancës që thotë se një sulm ndaj një anëtari është sulm ndaj të gjithëve.
Accession must be ratified by the parliaments of all 30 member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization before Finland and Sweden are protected by Article 5 of the alliance. Ratification can take up to one year. VOA
