Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson opens up the possibility of deploying US nuclear weapons in Sweden during the war
In the summer, the Riksdag (Swedish parliament) will vote on the government's proposal for a military cooperation agreement with the United States, the so-called DCA agreement, which gives the US military the right to use 17 Swedish military bases across the country. Previously, the Swedish government believed that there was no need for nuclear weapons, as there was a parliamentary decision on the absence of nuclear weapons in Sweden in peacetime.
Currently, the Prime Minister of Sweden has made it clear that the deployment of nuclear weapons in Sweden is possible in the event of war.
If a war breaks out here on our soil after an attack from outside, it is a completely different situation. Then the whole of NATO will benefit from the nuclear umbrella that should exist in democratic countries as long as Russia has nuclear weapons
Recall
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin's nuclear threats are a bluffand that he has nothing to gain from the use of nuclear weapons, but can lose everything.
