Sweden's ruling Social Democrats said on Sunday they backed the country joining NATO, abandoning decades of opposition in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and creating a large parliament majority in favour of membership.

Swedish Social Democrats, which is the current ruling party in Sweden, have confirmed they will join NATO, but under certain conditions. They oppose stationing nuclear weapons (because Sweden is very anti-nuclear) and hosting permanent NATO bases (because Sweden is still against hosting foreign military bases, and any "NATO" base is just a glorified USA base, let's be real). Effectively, they want the benefits without the costs.
The right-wing opposition is already pro-NATO, obviously, so there is no change from there. Apparently both Finland and Sweden might apply on May 17 officially, but we will see if this is true or not. Again, the bureaucratic process will take more time than people expect.
There are no updates on Russo-Ukrainian war, but Russia is advancing on Izyum front, which means claims of Ukrainian resistance on that front are obviously exaggerated (as everybody watching the war knows), but Ukrainian plan is to advance from north anyway, so this won't change much. Ukrainian tactics, just like the Russian tactics, are very old when it comes to the ground forces (ie. they can literally advance from one singular front like they are still fighting the WWII, which is not how 21st century armies operate), they are just more competent at them then the Russians.
Edit:
According to Svenska Dagbladet newspaper, the date will depend on whether Finland has time to make a decision on joining by then

Here's an article for the date. Yes it is TASS, but the article is correct.
