Now four more groups will be added, then in Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary.

The day before, the defense alliance had discussed further arms support for Ukarina.

Hultqvist: "Will push this to the finish line"

Sweden's Minister of Defense Peter Hultqvist was present at Wednesday's working dinner.

In SVT's Morgonstudion, he commented on the talks about Sweden and Finland's NATO applications:

- Virtually all countries said that it is important that we become members quickly.

Then there is the issue of Turkey.

I had a meeting with their Minister of Defense yesterday.

We have a dialogue and try step by step to solve these issues.

It is not worth speculating.

Our application is pending and we will pursue this goal.

At 3 pm, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg will hold a press conference after the NATO meeting - SVT will broadcast live.
