Orban assures approval for Sweden to join NATO. Hungary calls for an immediate ceasefire.

Orban's Fidesz party once again showed that it does not want to take a clear position against Putin. Sweden has so far received approval from 30 of the 31 NATO members. Even if Hungary's parliament in Budapest ratifies it, it still has to be signed by the President of the first official state. This is likely to be Hungary's Tamas Suokly, whom Hungary will probably elect as head of state shortly after ratification.
