Swedish Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson during a meeting with US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken in Washington DC, said unity and solidarity will be Sweden’s guiding lights as a NATO member.
Sweden’s lack of military preparedness was revealed in 2013 when Russian bomber planes flew across the Gulf of Finland close to the Swedish island of Gotland in what was believed to be simulated nuclear attacks.
Stockholm needed the support of NATO jets toward the Russian planes away from its airspace.
The next year there were reports that a Russian submarine was operating in the Stockholm archipelago.
