Mr Niinistö said the agreement to deepen Finland's security was not a "zero sum game" against a particular nation, but rather a move to better protect itself.

Speaking earlier in Sweden Mr Johnson said: "If Sweden were attacked and looked to us for help and support, then we would provide it."

Mr Johnson said the declaration being signed days after marking Victory in Europe Day was a "sad irony", but was essential under the "grim circumstances" of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Asked by the BBC to spell out exactly what the UK would do if Russia attacked Sweden, Mr Johnson said the deal meant that "upon request from the other party, we would come to the other party's assistance".

Ms Andersson argued her country would be safer as a result of the mutual assistance agreement with the UK, adding: "Of course this means something. This is important whatever policy choice we make in Sweden."

She also explained the country was "exploring all possible options and Nato is one of them that is on the table".

Ms Andersson said her government had sought the views of other countries about what support it could expect in the period between submitting an application to join Nato and formally becoming part of the alliance.

She added the country has already secured "reassurances" from several other nations, citing a recent press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and visit by Sweden's foreign minister to the US last week.

The mutual security assurances that Boris Johnson is offering Sweden and Finland show how the shape of European defence is changing.

Both countries are considering applying to join Nato. And Britain is offering them military support.

This is not some kind of legal and automatic security guarantee like that which Nato members give each other.

Instead, it is a political declaration that the UK will come to the aid of both countries' armed forces if they are attacked.

The prime minister insists this is a long-term commitment, not a short-term stop gap. But Britain's support could be crucial in coming months if Sweden and Finland apply to join Nato.

This is because there could be a tricky period between application and accession, potentially lasting some months, when neither country yet enjoys the full security guarantee that the Western alliance can offer.

The agreements with Sweden and Finland are not a legal or automatic security guarantee but a political declaration that the UK would come to its aid, if requested.

In an interview with the BBC, Mr Johnson described the deal with Sweden as stating something that "should be implicit" in the countries' relationship anyway.

Asked if he thought Sweden should join Nato, Mr Johnson said it was "not for the UK to intervene" in their internal debate over whether to apply to become a member of the alliance.

But he added: "We would strongly support Sweden's accession, if that's what the Swedes chose to do. We'd certainly try to make things go smoothly and easily as possible."
