Sweden's push to join NATO receives a significant boost as the Turkish parliament's foreign affairs committee approves Sweden's bid to join the Western military alliance. This marks a significant step towards ending Sweden's long-standing neutrality amidst Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has raised objections about Sweden's bid, citing concerns about Kurdish groups and linking it to potential F-16 sales to Turkey. However, Sweden's bid has faced challenges from Turkey and Hungary, who have been stalling the process for over 18 months.
