NATO Membership Pressures and Russia's Denial: Finland's Dilemma
TL;DR Summary
Hungary's delay in approving Sweden and Finland's NATO membership is causing frustration and worry in the Nordic countries and beyond. Analysts suggest that Hungary's intransigence on NATO expansion is its desire to exert leverage on the EU, which has frozen billions in funds to Budapest over corruption and rule-of-law concerns. Hungary's parliament has postponed a ratification vote twice in two weeks, and has not given a firm date on when the vote might take place.
