Neutrality and non-alignment after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine Videoconference

The discussion is probably most advanced in Finland and Sweden, where NATO membership is now seriously considered. In Austria and Malta, the status of neutrality is enshrined in the constitutions, while Ireland has made it a cornerstone of foreign policy.

What does neutrality and non-alignment means today in Europe's geopolitical age , especially after Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine? Is the historical context still relevant? To what extent did EU membership already affect the status and policy of neutrality and non-alignment?
