"Sweden Ends Neutrality: Officially Joins NATO, Impact on Russia"
TL;DR Summary
Sweden officially joined NATO as its 32nd member, ending decades of post-World War II neutrality and centuries of non-alignment with major powers. The move comes amid heightened security concerns in Europe following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The accession ceremony was attended by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg calling it a historic day. Sweden's membership had been delayed due to objections from NATO members Turkey and Hungary, but both countries have now ratified Sweden's admission.
