"NATO Urges Turkey to Approve Sweden's Membership and Considers Ukraine Security Plan Ahead of Summit"

NATO is pressuring Turkey to approve Sweden's membership before the upcoming summit in July. The alliance is also working on a security plan for Ukraine and boosting its non-member status in NATO. While most NATO allies agree that Ukraine will become a member one day, they want to provide it with security commitments and substantial new funding in the meantime. Turkey accuses Sweden of being too lenient on terrorist organizations and security threats, delaying its approval. Hungary has also delayed its approval, but the reasons why have not been made publicly clear.
