Sweden prepares for ‘armed attack’ from Russia as NATO bid stalls

"Until Turkey and Hungary refrain from blocking Sweden's bid to join NATO, the alliance is not obliged under Article 5 to come to their defence if a country such as Russia were to invade."

"Sweden cannot rule out an “armed attack” by Russia and must redesign its security strategy to reflect the “long-term threat” posed by Vladimir Putin, including the possibility of nuclear war, the Nordic nation’s defence committee has found.

Sweden is still struggling to convince Turkey to cease blocking their bid to join NATO over concerns they are harbouring Kurdish “terrorists” and is scrambling to bolster its defences in the meantime."
