"Sweden Ends Centuries of Neutrality, Joins NATO Amid Ukraine Conflict"
TL;DR Summary
Sweden officially joined NATO as its 32nd member, ending centuries of military neutrality. The decision comes almost two years after Sweden first applied to join the alliance, prompted by Russia's war on Ukraine. The move marks a significant shift in Sweden's longstanding policy of military non-alignment. Finland also became a NATO member last year in response to Russian aggression. The accession process was delayed by Hungary and Turkey, but all existing NATO members ultimately approved Sweden's membership.
