“Russia is currently the single biggest threat (to Sweden),” the Swedish Security Services said in a statement. “The regime's actions are unpredictable and it is inclined to take big risks.”
The Security Services said the war in Ukraine had changed the security situation drastically, and that Russia now posed a military threat in Sweden's immediate area as well as a threat to Sweden's internal security.
“Russia considers Sweden to be part of Europe, NATO and the collective West and that increases the threat to Sweden,” Daniel Stenling, head of counter-intelligence, told a news conference.
