US sailors and Marines aboard San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS Arlington (LPD 24) arrived in Sweden amid a “Russian threat”.
The U.S. Senate on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a resolution approving Finland and Sweden’s request to join NATO, a victory for the West and a blow for Vladimir Putin.
Putin was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying he would not rule out that tensions would emerge in Moscow’s relations with Helsinki and Stockholm over their joining NATO.
US Warship held a Stockholm port visit to demonstrate the commitment to allied, and partner interests amid Russian warnings.
