Top security actors, including Swedish Civil Defence Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin and the countryβs Commander-in-Chief, Micael BydΓ©n, agree that Sweden could soon be facing a war and called for increased resilience, including among the civilian population.
As Sweden is expected to join NATO in 2024 and the broader context of Russiaβs war in Ukraine, Swedenβs Civil Defence Minister, Carl-Oskar Bohlin, urged his fellow citizens to prepare for war at the Folk och FΓΆrsvar conference in SΓ€len.
Bohlin expressed concern that the modernisation of the Swedish civil defence system was not happening fast enough and urged everyone, from managers and local councillors to private citizens, to take action.
