Sweden becomes full NATO member
Sweden Thursday became NATO's newest member, dropping its long-standing neutrality and joining the alliance in the wake of Russia's full-scale operation of Ukraine more than two years ago, News.az reports citing Politico.
The accession became official in the wake of Hungary submitting its ratification protocol; it was the final one of 31 alliance members to give Sweden the nod.
With Sweden now a full member of NATO, it is covered by the alliance's Article 5, obliging all other members to come to each other's defense if they are attacked.
