"Sweden’s application to join Nato in May marks a major shift away from its
longstanding position as a neutral state, stretching back to 1812.

Yet following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the decision now appears to command
wide political support across the Swedish government, parliament and
population. Swedish public support for Nato membership has gradually increased
over the last decade, with 58% now in favour and only 19% opposed. The major
Swedish political parties all decided to support the membership application,
too."
