Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland stated that the membership of Finland and Sweden in the North Atlantic Alliance could not be agreed upon by the summit in Madrid, which is to be held on June 28-29.

Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto said in an interview with Corriere della Sera that it is difficult to make predictions about the timing of the country's accession to NATO.
