Swedish government and Supreme Commander, Micael Bydén, have urged citizens to prepare for the possibility of war amidst escalating tensions in Ukraine.

The warning has sparked a variety of reactions, with some accusing the government of increasing militarization and others arguing for the necessity of preparedness.

Russian politician, Aleksej Pusjkov, has dismissed these warnings as 'war dreams', while security analysts have pointed out the potential threat posed by Russia's missile capabilities.

Meanwhile, Defence Minister Pål Jonson has described the current security situation as the most severe since World War II, attributing this to Russia's invasive behavior and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
