Finland's NATO Membership and Sweden's Delay
TL;DR Summary
Finland is set to become the 31st member of NATO, while Sweden's bid remains stalled due to Turkey's veto power. Turkey has demanded that Sweden take a tougher stance against the PKK, and Hungary has also expressed grievances. Western officials hope Sweden will join NATO ahead of a leaders summit in July, but it remains uncertain whether Turkey will approve Sweden's membership. Russia has pledged to boost its own defenses near the countries' shared border should NATO send any troops into Finland.
