Sanna Marin, the prime minister of NATO aspirant Finland, says she hopes the West has learned its lessons on how to deal with Russia. If Ukraine had been a NATO member, there would not be a war in the country now, Marin said on January 17 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. She said this was why Finland and Sweden had applied for alliance membership. "We want to become a member of NATO because we don't ever again want war in Finland. We have been at war with Russia before," Marin told the journalist Fareed Zakaria.
