Hungary\'s approval of Sweden\'s NATO membership marks a historic day, making Sweden the latest NATO member in response to Russia\'s invasion of Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg welcomed Hungary\'s ratification, emphasizing that Sweden\'s membership will enhance the alliance\'s strength and security. With Finland\'s previous accession, all Baltic Sea countries except Russia are now part of NATO, leading to the region being dubbed a \'NATO lake.\' While this move bolsters NATO\'s control over the Baltic region, Russia still poses a threat from Kaliningrad and undersea infrastructure.
