Recent statements from Sweden's military and defense ministers have sparked a nationwide discussion regarding the potential of war in the country.
The ministers' comments were met with criticism from some who argue such talk is alarmist and instills unnecessary fear among citizens.
However, others, including the Finnish defense attaché in Sweden, believe that Swedish citizens need to be prepared for such a possibility, drawing parallels to Finland's longstanding culture of military readiness.
These discussions have played out against a backdrop of escalating international tensions and have led to many questions from the public about what measures should be taken in case of a conflict.
