TL;DR Summary

Hungary's parliament has approved Finland's bid to join NATO, ending months of delays and bringing the Nordic country one step closer to becoming a full member of the Western military alliance. While Hungary's approval was greeted with relief in Helsinki and elsewhere, NATO accession for Sweden remained up in the air as members of Hungary's governing party insisted they will wait for Stockholm to clear up lingering disagreements before they go to a vote. Turkey is now the only one of the 30 NATO members not to have ratified Finland's accession.
