		</div><p>Finland’s president and government have announced the Nordic country intends to apply for membership of Nato, paving the way for the 30-member Western military alliance to expand amid Russia’s war in Ukraine.</p>
<p>President Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin made the announcement at a joint news conference at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki on Sunday.</p>
<p>Finland, which shares a long border with Russia, has previously been a neutral country.</p>
<p>Mr Niinisto said: “This is a historic day. A new era begins.”</p>
<p>The Finnish Parliament is expected to endorse the decision in coming days, but it is considered a formality.</p>
<p>A formal membership application will then be submitted to Nato headquarters in Brussels, most likely at some point next week.</p>
