The last paragraph suggests that Finland and Sweden are pointing to Article 42.7 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty as an alternative to NATO, with a view to "militarising the European Union". It's a silly argument, since no "EU Army" or some such currently exists, and will take years (at best) to create. The whole article looks strangely dated, as if it was written well before the claimed "March 31". It's evident to anyone who's been watching Finland's debate that the country is leaning heavily toward joining NATO, and will probably submit its application in June: https://yle.fi/news/3-12388118 https://yle.fi/news/3-12388118 https://yle.fi/news/3-12384116 https://yle.fi/news/3-12384116 https://yle.fi/news/3-12377853 https://yle.fi/news/3-12377853 https://yle.fi/news/3-12390279 https://yle.fi/news/3-12390279 https://yle.fi/news/3-12361370 https://yle.fi/news/3-12361370
