the alliance after Hungary’s parliament approved the motion, Politico reports.
The historic move for Sweden comes after the country’s neutrality lasted through two world wars and the Cold War.

Sweden is the 32nd member to join the military alliance.

Hungary was the last NATO member to hold out on Sweden’s membership but held a parliamentary vote to approve it.
.
188 lawmakers in the Hungarian parliament supported Sweden’s NATO membership,
6 against and no abstentions.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine caused Sweden to change its decade-long stance of neutrality, all while the future of NATO’s future remains uncertain.

Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, withheld his approval of Sweden’s bid
for over 600 days.
Orbán has faced criticism for maintaining contact with Russian president,
Vladimir Putin.

Ukraine’s top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelensky’s party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the ‘Servant of the People’ party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee.
Syrsky, who became Ukraine’s highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last year’s unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a “generals’ mafia” that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia.
