Johnson offers support if Sweden or Finland come under attack
British PM Boris Johnson and Swedish PM Magdalena Andersson sign a declaration of political solidarity
Boris Johnson is shortly due to speak at a press conference during a visit to Sweden where he is expected to talk about bolstering European security.
The prime minister has said he will support Sweden and Finland if they come under attack - amid debate within both nations about whether to join the Nato alliance.
The prime minister is on a 24-hour trip where he will be meeting with the leaders of Sweden and Finland to discuss the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
“We are steadfast and unequivocal in our support to both Sweden and Finland and the signing of these security declarations is a symbol of the everlasting assurance between our nations,” the prime minister said in a statement issued before he speaks.
It said the PM would “set out the UK’s intention to support the two nations’ armed forces should either face crisis or come under attack”.
Commentary:
UK guarantees could be crucial in coming months
James Landale
Diplomatic correspondent
The mutual security assurances that Boris Johnson is offering Sweden and Finland show how the shape of European defence is changing. Both countries are considering applying to join Nato. And Britain is offering them military support.
This is not some kind of legal and automatic security guarantee like that which Nato members give each other. Instead, it is a political declaration that the UK will come to the aid of both countries’ armed forces if they are attacked.
The prime minister insists this is a long term commitment, not a short-term stop gap. But Britain’s support could be crucial in coming months if Sweden and Finland apply to join Nato. This is because there could be a tricky period between application and accession, potentially lasting some months, when neither country yet enjoys the full security guarantee that the Western alliance can offer.
