Sweden is grappling with a tough decision on how to balance its defense commitments.
With limited military resources, experts warn that Sweden may struggle to support both NATO operations in the Baltic Sea and potential peacekeeping missions in Ukraine.
Magnus Christiansson, a military expert, suggests that drastic re-prioritizations would be needed to send troops to Ukraine.
Currently, Sweden has deployed 550 soldiers to Latvia as part of NATO's deterrence efforts, but reallocating them could weaken Baltic defenses.
Meanwhile, the Swedish government faces financial challenges in funding defense upgrades and aid to Ukraine.
With defense spending already set to double, questions arise about how to finance these efforts without overburdening the economy.
Political debates are heating up, with proposals ranging from new taxes to increased borrowing.
As global tensions rise, Sweden must navigate these complex military and economic challenges to ensure national and regional security.
