Britains Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday.ALASTAIR GRANT/ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson welcomed Finland’s and Sweden's applications to join NATO Wednesday, saying Russian President Vladimir Putin had triggered what he called “an historic day” for the alliance and the world.

“Not long ago, nobody would have predicted this step, but Putin’s appalling ambitions have transformed the geopolitical contours of our continent,” Mr. Johnson said in a tweet.
