Putin has made Ukraine’s NATO ambitions & the bloc's eastward expansion the principal grounds for the Russian invasion of 2022. NATO members say Russia’s war has backfired, with Finland having joined the alliance & Sweden awaiting formal entry. The policy shift ended decades of both nations' respective non-aligned status. However, Slovakia, Bulgaria & Hungary have stood out as particularly pro-Russia in their attitudes.
