“ Swedish Defense Minister Paul Jönsson believes that the strengthening of hybrid operations by Russia requires a decisive response from European states and preparations for a possible war. Source: Jonson’s statement in an interview with the German publication RND, “European Truth” reports. Details: According to Jonson, in order to preserve peace in Europe, one must “prepare oneself both mentally and militarily for the possibility of war.” Straight talk: “A change in mentality is necessary: we must go into war mode to resolutely deter, protect and preserve peace. Russia is constantly testing our unity and our resolve. But Putin will not succeed.” Details: The head of the Swedish Defense Ministry also said that recent incidents of drone and aircraft intrusions into NATO airspace showed that “Russia is ready to take political and military risks and strengthen its hybrid operations.” Straight talk: “That’s why we must counter and strike back. We must take new military steps to counter Russian escalation – whether against hybrid operations or against violations of our airspace.” Details: Among other things, in his opinion, it should be made clear to Russia that any provocation will necessarily be answered. Direct language: “Russia should know: if an enemy warship or combat aircraft enters our airspace or our waters, we will be forced to chase it away – and, if the circumstances require it, to shoot it down,” the minister added. Background: Sweden recently announced a sharp increase in 2025 of GPS interference over the Baltic Sea from Russian territory, affecting civilian aircraft. Last year, Sweden identified Russia as the most serious threat in a new national security strategy.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
