NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in a new interview with CNN said this week marks a "victory" for the alliance with Finland and Sweden on the verge of becoming new members.
NATO is getting more NATO, and two new NATO members, as a result of Putin's invasion of Ukraine, according to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
As it held a summit in Madrid this week, NATO invited Sweden and Finn to join. Russia's invasion of Ukranian pushed the two Nordic countries to join NATO. It's a particularly significant addition to NATO because it shares a 830 mile border with Russia.
There are plans to deploy two more missile defense capable destroyers to Spain, a permanent US garrison in Poland, and two more F-35 stealth fighter squadrons to the UK.
Putin made a huge mistake by ordering the invasion of Ukraine, according to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

The Kremlin demanded security guarantees from the West as it gathered tens of thousands of troops on the Ukrainian border. Russia wants NATO to prevent Georgia and Ukraine from joining. NATO said that its open door policy was non-negotiable.
Putin has railed against NATO expansion for a long time and blamed the alliance for Russia's military offensive in Ukraine. In the past few days, the Russian leader has downplayed the significance of NATO membership.
They can join if they want to. It is up to them. Putin said that they could join whatever they wanted. The Russian leader warned the two countries not to install NATO military infrastructure or host military contingents inside their borders.
As the war rages on in the eastern Donbas region, NATO is still aware of the "difficulties" that Ukraine continues to face, according to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. The NATO chief made it clear that the alliance needs to do more to ensure that the fight against Russia is won.
