Hungary's ratification of Sweden's NATO bid is now "only a technical question," Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on July 11, after Turkey agreed to allow the Nordic country to join the alliance. Turkey agreed a day earlier to allow Sweden to join NATO, setting the stage for the allies to showcase their unity at a summit focused on supporting Ukraine against Russia's invasion. Hungary and Turkey are the last NATO members to still ratify Sweden's accession to the bloc. "The completion of the ratification process is now only a technical question," Szijjarto said in a statement on Facebook.
