In Sweden, fearing a possible war with Russia, the population began to prepare for general defence. "Sud Ouest" published information about this.
“Canned food, portable filters for drinking water, first aid kit and radio. These are what the government recommends to keep in reserve," the information stated.
Even experts have called to collect 3 months of food reserves.
Charlotte Petri, the head of the Swedish Emergency Situations Agency, said that the concept of total protection is to prepare the population to live independently in crisis conditions.
The Finnish Security and Intelligence Service warned Sweden of “increased threats” from Russia after the country officially became the 32nd NATO member ending decades of neutrality in the wake of war in Ukraine.
Finland, which shares a 1,340-kilometer long border with Russia, joined NATO on April 4, 2023, after Russia began its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
The Nordic country's NATO membership drew military threats from the Kremlin with Russian President Vladimir Putin accusing the West of “dragging” Finland into a military alliance and creating a rift between Moscow and Helsinki.
According to the Finnish authorities, since joining the Western military alliance, Russian operations against the country have increased sharply.
Finnish Security and Intelligence Service warned that the same development may await Sweden.
“We have to be ready,” Finnish Security and Intelligence Service’s acting head Teemu Turunen told Swedish local broadcaster SVT Nyheter.
“You should never underestimate the capabilities of the Russian intelligence service. They are skilled and we must be ready,” he added.
Sweden’s accession to Nato is proof that Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has failed, secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said. “When President Putin launched his full-scale invasion two years ago, he wanted less Nato and more control over his neighbors,” the Norwegian politician said.
