A “historic” NATO summit kicked off in Vilnius, Lithuania this week, after the intergovernmental military alliance welcomed Sweden as its newest member after a unanimous vote from the other 31 world leaders.
Both Sweden and Finland put in their bid for NATO membership after Russia invaded Ukraine early last year, prompting them to abandon neutrality and join the world’s most powerful military alliance.
While Finland was quickly approved, Hungary and Turkey had their reservations about welcoming Sweden — though that changed on Monday.
Will Ukraine be next in line for membership? From Lithuania’s capital, Global’s David Akin reports.
