Sweden can within a few years be exposed to a military attack from Russia, according to Must chief Thomas Nilsson.
In an interview in Echo He warns that the threat picture may be exacerbated after a possible peace agreement in Ukraine.
Serious security policy situation
According to Thomas Nilsson Sweden is in a serious security policy situation. If the fighting in Ukraine decreases or ceases, Russia may have the opportunity to target its military resources to other goals in the region.
– Should there be a ceasefire or reduction of the fighting in Ukraine, there is a clear risk that Russia will redistribute some of its resources against our immediate area, he tells Ekot.
Must estimates that the risk of a full -scale invasion of Sweden is low, but still warns that targeted attacks can take place.
– A large -scale invasion like the one we have seen in Ukraine is unlikely, but we can be subjected to less territorial attacks or attacks on critical social functions, says Thomas Nilsson.
He emphasizes the importance of Sweden continuing to equip to meet a deteriorated security situation.
In the short term, Must sees no immediate risk of attack, but within a time frame of two to five years the threat picture can change drastically.
– It is not an acute danger today, but we must be prepared for the situation to change quickly, says Nilsson.
