I dont think it was panic over ukraine. It was realization that international law and agreements means jack shit to putin. It was realization that the russian army is as brutal as they were in ww2. It was realization that an attack from russia is a real possibility.
Besides, sweden was only neutral on paper.
Sweden should have been one of the founding members of nato, but we decided to stay ”neutral” because of finland.
I do think however, that now that finland is a member, there is really no rush to get in. Let erdo-dog do his whatever this is and get in when the dust settles.
