Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSweden’s Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson says a NATO drill in Norway that was planned before the invasion of Ukraine sends “an important signal that there is cooperation, cooperation and a readiness to defend our territory.”
The visit to the exercise Cold Response “shouldn’t be interpreted as a step toward a Swedish NATO membership,” Andersson tells reporters.
Sweden has a close partnership with NATO and that “has deepened during the crisis.”
Support for joining NATO has surged to record levels in non-Alliance members Finland and Sweden.
