"Sweden's NATO Membership Secured as Hungary Ratifies Accession"
TL;DR Summary
Hungary's parliament overwhelmingly approved Sweden's bid to join NATO, clearing the way for the Nordic nation's accession to the alliance after nearly two years of negotiations. With this approval, Sweden will become the 32nd member of NATO, strengthening the alliance's security. The move comes at a crucial time in the war in Ukraine, with Russia finding renewed success on the battlefield and cracks appearing in Western support for Kyiv. The rise in populist sentiment in Europe and the United States also threatens to stymie Ukraine's efforts to continue its fight against Russia.
