  • On Sunday, the annual conference "People and Defense" began in Selena. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Social Democratic Party leader Magdalena Andersson spoke at the conference, SVT reports.

The article from MSN discusses Sweden's strategic shift in its defense policy due to the evolving geopolitical landscape, particularly in light of Russia's actions in Ukraine. Sweden, traditionally neutral, has moved towards NATO membership, prompted by the need for stronger security guarantees. This shift is part of a broader European trend where countries are reevaluating their defense strategies. Sweden is now preparing for potentially dangerous times by enhancing its military capabilities, including increasing defense spending, reintroducing conscription, and planning to station troops on the strategically important island of Gotland. The article highlights Sweden's efforts to adapt to a new reality where it is "not in war but not in peace," focusing on deterrence and readiness against possible threats, especially from Russia. This includes not only military preparations but also societal resilience, with initiatives to educate the public on emergency preparedness.
