00:00 - 00:05
Sweden just sent a wake-up call to NATO. In
a move that has shocked European nations,
00:05 - 00:11
the nation has officially unveiled its 19th, and
largest-ever, military aid package to Ukraine.
00:11 - 00:17
We’re talking about 16 billion Swedish kronor,
which is roughly $1.6 billion, in new support.
00:17 - 00:21
To put that in further perspective, this one
aid package is larger than the contribution
00:21 - 00:25
that some of the largest countries have sent
in a year. But this isn’t just about money. No,
00:25 - 00:30
this is much bigger than simply financial support.
It’s a story about a nation fundamentally changing
00:30 - 00:36
its defense strategy. It’s about why Sweden is
suddenly preparing for the unthinkable, and why
00:36 - 00:41
that matters not just to Ukraine, but to all of
the world. But why now? And why Sweden out of all
00:41 - 00:46
the NATO members? Let’s break it down. To really
understand how massive this moment is, we’ve got
00:46 - 00:52
to go back in time. Sweden’s reputation as a
neutral power isn’t new. It dates back over 200
00:52 - 00:58
years. Since 1812, Sweden has managed to remain
neutral during every major international military
00:58 - 01:04
alliance and conflict, including both World Wars
and the Cold War. For over two centuries, Sweden’s
01:04 - 01:09
foreign policy was defined by neutrality, and that
wasn’t by accident. After the Napoleonic Wars in
01:09 - 01:14
the early 1800s, Sweden made a conscious decision
to step away from the cycle of European conflict
01:14 - 01:20
that had cost so many lives. Instead of pursuing
military dominance, it focused on diplomacy,
01:20 - 01:24
stability, and self-reliance. It was a strategy
built on the belief that a strong, independent
01:24 - 01:29
Sweden could protect its interests without
entangling itself in the wars of others. And
01:29 - 01:34
for the most part, it worked. By steering clear of
both World Wars and the Cold War’s military blocs,
01:34 - 01:39
Sweden carved out a role as a respected peace
broker – quietly strong but intentionally removed
01:39 - 01:44
from the front lines. Despite its neutrality,
Sweden has built a solid military defense which
01:44 - 01:51
they continue to expand. In Global Firepower 2025
rankings, Sweden is 27th out of 145 countries,
01:51 - 01:56
putting them amongst the top tier of global
military power. The Swedish Armed Forces have
01:56 - 02:05
24,400 active-duty personnel, supported by 7,100
reserves, 4,700 part-time, and 22,000 Home Guard
02:05 - 02:12
Troops. They have plans to increase this 88,000
total manpower to 115,000 by 2030. And it’s not
02:12 - 02:17
just manpower. On land, they operate approximately
110 main battle tanks, with plans to acquire an
02:17 - 02:25
additional 110 Leopard 2 variants. Its air force,
meanwhile, consists of 105 JAS 39 Gripen fighters,
02:25 - 02:30
with the intention of expanding the Gripen
E fleet to 60 plus four new Embraer C-390
02:30 - 02:36
transport aircraft ordered. Their Navy commands
five Visby-class stealth corvettes, presently
02:36 - 02:41
being upgraded with missiles, and four operational
submarines with two more being built. It’s a solid
02:41 - 02:47
force, growing fast with cutting-edge engineering.
As of 2025, the defense budget is just as strong,
02:47 - 02:54
hitting $7.72 billion in 2022, pledging to
increase that spending to 3.5% by 2030. Despite
02:54 - 03:00
building this capable modern military, Sweden
remained proudly neutral. But in 2022, everything
03:00 - 03:04
changed. When Russia launched its full-scale
invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the shock
03:04 - 03:10
was felt across Europe. However, in Stockholm, it
triggered something deeper. It shattered decades
03:10 - 03:15
of European security and made it clear that
neutrality could no longer guarantee safety.
03:15 - 03:19
In Stockholm, decision-makers began asking
very difficult and uneasy questions. If
03:19 - 03:24
Russian President Vladimir Putin was willing to
invade a neighboring democracy without warning,
03:24 - 03:28
what might he do next? And more urgently, if
he wasn’t deterred by NATO’s eastern edge,
03:28 - 03:33
would countries outside the alliance be even more
vulnerable? For the first time in living memory,
03:33 - 03:37
Sweden’s leaders, and the public, began
to seriously ask the question: What if
03:37 - 03:42
neutrality isn’t enough anymore? Even before
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Sweden had grown
03:42 - 03:48
uneasy. Russia’s invasion of Georgia in 2008, its
annexation of Crimea in 2014, and its increase
03:48 - 03:53
in military exercises in the Baltic Sea caused
concern. As Russian aggression increased, Sweden
03:53 - 04:00
began negotiations with NATO. And in March 2024,
Sweden made it official: it joined NATO. So after
04:00 - 04:05
more than two centuries of military non-alignment,
Sweden crossed a historic threshold and became the
04:05 - 04:11
alliance’s 32nd member. It wasn’t a decision
taken lightly. The process involved intense
04:11 - 04:15
political debate, a careful weighing of public
opinion, and months and months of diplomatic
04:15 - 04:20
negotiation. But in the end, there was no other
choice. Russia’s aggression had redrawn the map of
04:20 - 04:25
European security, and neutrality no longer felt
like protection. In reality, it felt like a risk.
04:25 - 04:30
Sweden recognized that its security was no longer
about protecting its borders but about standing
04:30 - 04:34
shoulder-to-shoulder with its democratic allies.
The move signaled a profound shift in mindset;
04:34 - 04:39
one from standing apart to standing together.
And now, just one year later, we’re seeing the
04:39 - 04:45
full impact of that decision. Because Sweden isn’t
just in NATO. It’s leading. Sweden’s $1.6 billion
04:45 - 04:51
aid package is not just big, it’s unprecedented
for Sweden. Defense Minister Pål Jonson laid it
04:51 - 04:56
out bluntly: “Russia has the initiative in the war
and we must support Ukraine to break that trend.”
04:56 - 05:01
That sense of urgency is driving everything behind
this new aid effort. Most of the funding is aimed
05:01 - 05:06
at procuring new weapons and systems from Swedish
and European defense industries. In other words,
05:06 - 05:10
this isn’t leftover stock, they’re placing
new orders, pushing factories to work faster,
05:10 - 05:16
and getting equipment built specifically for
Ukraine’s needs. Around $920 million will go to
05:16 - 05:20
Sweden’s Defense Material Administration, which
will order new equipment to send to Ukraine.
05:20 - 05:26
Another $500 is dedicated to Ukraine’s own defense
industry. Ukraine has already raised over $1.5
05:26 - 05:31
billion from its Western partners to support that
industry as of February 2025, with Sweden’s $500
05:31 - 05:36
million taking Ukraine a step closer to its $10
billion target. Add to all of this a further
05:36 - 05:40
$50 million dedicated to gear Sweden will
ship from its existing military stockpiles,
05:40 - 05:45
and you get a bumper military aid package.
What’s more, Sweden’s not waiting around. About
05:45 - 05:50
70% of this package will be delivered within the
year. That means Ukraine gets real help quickly,
05:50 - 05:54
at a time when its forces are stretched thin
across a 600-mile front. But it’s not just about
05:54 - 05:59
the quantity of help but giving Ukraine exactly
what they want. The Ukrainians have been clear
05:59 - 06:04
about what they need to keep fighting and winning:
ammunition, air defenses, drones, naval assets,
06:04 - 06:09
satellite communications, and infantry gear.
Sweden’s latest military aid package aims to
06:09 - 06:15
tick every one of those boxes. Among the standout
contributions are unmanned mine-clearing vessels,
06:15 - 06:20
vital for combating the rising threat of sea mines
in the Black Sea and along Ukraine’s coast. With
06:20 - 06:25
commercial and military vessels facing constant
danger in mined waters, these systems are critical
06:25 - 06:30
for restoring safe navigation routes, as well as
securing maritime supply lines, especially for
06:30 - 06:36
grain exports and humanitarian aid. Sweden is also
increasing naval support with the transfer of 16
06:36 - 06:42
CB90 combat boats, now enhanced with radar systems
that boost Ukraine’s ability to control riverine
06:42 - 06:47
and coastal operations. Originally developed by
Sweden for high-speed insertions and patrols,
06:47 - 06:53
the CB90 can reach speeds of 40 knots (or about 46
miles per hour) and carry up to 21 troops. These
06:53 - 06:58
boats are proving useful in Ukraine’s defense of
the Dnipro River and other contested waterways.
06:58 - 07:02
The radar upgrades provided in this aid package
will give crews a tactical edge in surveillance
07:02 - 07:07
and navigation during fast-paced missions. In
the air, Sweden’s support includes ground service
07:07 - 07:12
vehicles for Ukraine’s F-16 fighter jets, which
are being integrated into the Ukrainian Air Force
07:12 - 07:18
for both defensive patrols and precision strike
roles. These vehicles play an essential role by
07:18 - 07:22
refueling, arming, and maintaining the jets so
they can be rapidly deployed. As Ukraine prepares
07:22 - 07:27
to operate one of NATO’s most versatile fighter
aircraft, this type of logistical support ensures
07:27 - 07:33
it can do so effectively. To strike behind enemy
lines, the package also includes long-range drones
07:33 - 07:37
and ground-attack missiles. While the specific
drone models haven’t been publicly confirmed,
07:37 - 07:42
Ukraine has successfully deployed systems
like the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 and its
07:42 - 07:46
own domestically produced long-range drones.
Sweden’s additions are expected to expand that
07:46 - 07:51
strike capability further, supporting operations
against Russian logistics hubs, command centers,
07:51 - 07:56
and artillery positions well beyond the front
line. They have also added spare parts to the
07:56 - 08:00
military package. These components ensure that
previously donated Western tanks, vehicles,
08:00 - 08:05
and artillery pieces already in use can stay
in the fight, rather than being sidelined by
08:05 - 08:10
avoidable breakdowns, thus ensuring all machinery
can be used in defense. Sweden’s contribution
08:10 - 08:15
reflects a clear understanding of what Ukraine
needs, not only to hold the line but to press
08:15 - 08:20
forward with confidence. It’s a package based
on resilience, reach, and sustained operational
08:20 - 08:24
power. But that’s not all they’re providing.
They’re also giving support for infrastructure
08:24 - 08:29
and logistics, not just weapons. Sweden’s made a
point of ensuring Ukrainian air bases stay fully
08:29 - 08:34
functional, not just now, but through a long and
grinding war. That kind of thinking shows just how
08:34 - 08:39
seriously Stockholm is taking this. But why now?
What’s changed? The situation on the ground in
08:39 - 08:44
Ukraine is becoming increasingly intense. Russian
forces are now conducting offensive operations
08:44 - 08:48
across nearly the entire front line — with
pressure mounting from Kharkiv in the northeast
08:48 - 08:53
to Kherson in the south, according to battlefield
reports and assessments from Ukrainian officials.
08:53 - 08:59
In heavily congested areas like Avdiivka, Bakhmut,
and the broader Donetsk region, where over 75% of
08:59 - 09:04
recent clashes have taken place, the fighting has
intensified. Ukrainian units are under constant
09:04 - 09:09
fire and have had to reposition or pull back from
certain sectors, adapting to shifting lines and
09:09 - 09:14
relentless assaults. Yet despite the mounting
strain, Ukraine continues to hold firm, making
09:14 - 09:19
every inch of territory costly for Russian forces.
Both sides are stretched. While Ukraine is facing
09:19 - 09:23
fatigue after more than two years of grueling
combat, with limited rotations and stretched
09:23 - 09:29
supply lines, Russia too is losing manpower at a
staggering rate. Western intelligence estimates
09:29 - 09:34
that Russia has suffered more than 300,000
casualties since the full-scale invasion began,
09:34 - 09:38
including tens of thousands of elite troops
lost in brutal urban fighting. This is a war
09:38 - 09:43
of attrition, and neither side can afford
complacency. But this is where Sweden’s aid
09:43 - 09:48
package could be decisive. By delivering advanced
systems like radar-equipped CB90 assault boats,
09:48 - 09:53
mine-clearing vessels, and long-range drones,
Sweden is helping Ukraine plug critical gaps in
09:53 - 09:58
its defense and increase its strategic options.
These aren’t symbolic contributions. Instead,
09:58 - 10:03
they’re practical tools designed to shift the
balance over time, especially in key areas like
10:03 - 10:08
coastal security, air operations, and logistics.
And beyond the frontline, the humanitarian picture
10:08 - 10:14
is devastating. More than 40,000 civilians
have been killed or injured, over 4 million
10:14 - 10:18
are internally displaced, and nearly 7 million
Ukrainians have been forced to flee the country
10:18 - 10:24
entirely. The toll on families, infrastructure,
and daily life is immense and unfortunately rising
10:24 - 10:29
by the day. Sweden’s growing role in supporting
resilience isn’t just military but it’s moral,
10:29 - 10:35
strategic, and deeply humanitarian. But while
Sweden has decided to move fast, NATO hasn’t.
10:35 - 10:40
Behind closed doors, frustration is mounting
over drawn-out decision-making processes that are
10:40 - 10:45
lagging behind the realities on the battlefield.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg recently
10:45 - 10:50
acknowledged the problem, warning that “serious
delays in support have meant serious consequences
10:50 - 10:55
on the battlefield. So is Sweden shaking NATO
from the inside? Let’s be clear, Stockholm
10:55 - 10:59
isn’t trying to cause problems. In fact, they
are doing what many believe every NATO country
10:59 - 11:04
should be doing just now: leading, funding, and
fighting for Ukraine’s survival. Sweden’s latest
11:04 - 11:08
aid package is also turning heads, not just
for its size, but for the speed with which it
11:08 - 11:13
was delivered. It’s a bold move from a country
that only formally joined the alliance in 2024,
11:13 - 11:18
and one that underscores Sweden’s determination
to make its presence felt. NATO has committed
11:18 - 11:24
more than €100 billion (or $109.2 billion) in
military, economic, and humanitarian support
11:24 - 11:29
to Ukraine since the start of the war, with key
contributions from the U.S., Germany, the UK,
11:29 - 11:34
and Poland. However, Sweden’s swift actions are
a sharp contrast and perhaps raise the idea that
11:34 - 11:39
NATO has become bogged down in bureaucracy. It’s
also exposing NATO’s present disunity. At a time
11:39 - 11:44
when President Donald Trump is distancing the U.S.
from Ukraine, slamming Zelensky, and even hinting
11:44 - 11:49
at pulling support completely, Sweden has stepped
up and showed it won’t be intimidated from doing
11:49 - 11:53
what it believes is right. They may perhaps even
force NATO to rethink its power structure so that
11:53 - 11:59
the U.S. can’t call the shots anymore and show
that small countries can lead just as effectively.
11:59 - 12:04
So is Sweden causing NATO problems? Not directly
but by being bold and active, it's most certainly
12:04 - 12:09
exposing the cracks. Now let’s talk Trump.
Sweden’s Jonson made it clear: “This is not just
12:09 - 12:14
a responsibility on Sweden’s shoulders.” His call
to action wasn’t aimed at Sweden alone. It was
12:14 - 12:18
aimed at the bigger powers. “What are you going
to do now?” Right now, all eyes are on Washington.
12:18 - 12:23
Trump’s stance on NATO and Ukraine has introduced
a new layer of uncertainty across Europe. His
12:23 - 12:28
“No more blank cheques” message may resonate
with American voters concerned about overseas
12:28 - 12:33
spending but has worried European leaders. As
he put it from the Oval Office in March 2025:
12:33 - 12:37
“If they don’t pay, I’m not going to defend them.
No, I’m not going to defend them.” He added, “They
12:37 - 12:41
should be paying more,” arguing that even after
his first term prompted increased defense spending
12:41 - 12:46
across the alliance, “it’s still not enough.”
European leaders worry that if the U.S. pulls
12:46 - 12:50
back, militarily, financially, or diplomatically
this could leave a vacuum that Russia would be
12:50 - 12:55
quick to exploit. NATO’s Secretary General Mark
Rutte has tried to steady the ship, saying,
12:55 - 13:00
“I know some may have concerns about NATO’s
future… but the transatlantic partnership remains
13:00 - 13:05
the bedrock of our alliance.” He acknowledged that
President Trump had “made clear the expectation
13:05 - 13:10
that we in Europe must do more in terms of defense
spending” which is a message many allies are now
13:10 - 13:14
taking seriously. That makes Sweden’s position
matter more than ever. While others debate,
13:14 - 13:19
Sweden is delivering. If the U.S. won’t lead,
someone has to. And right now, that “someone” is
13:19 - 13:24
Sweden. It’s a small country, with just over 10
million people. But it’s punching far above its
13:24 - 13:29
weight. With clear strategy, bold spending, and
no hesitation, Sweden is stepping into a role few
13:29 - 13:34
expected and doing it with purpose. This latest
batch of military aid is just the start. It’s
13:34 - 13:39
delivered plenty in the past and more is coming.
With this latest package, Sweden’s total military
13:39 - 13:44
and financial support to Ukraine reaches about
$7.8 billion. And they have promised that almost
13:44 - 13:50
$2.95 billion is being delivered in 2025 alone.
That’s some aid from a country of just over 10
13:50 - 13:55
million people. And here’s the kicker: Sweden’s
not stopping there. When it hits the 3.5% of
13:55 - 14:00
GDP mark by 2030, it will become one of the top
defense spenders in Europe. This is notable when
14:00 - 14:05
you consider that major economies like Germany
and Italy have faced challenges in reaching this,
14:05 - 14:10
with Italy considering reclassifying certain
expenditures to approach the target. Domestically,
14:10 - 14:14
Sweden is expanding arms production across its
defense industry, with a focus on supplying both
14:14 - 14:20
national forces and contributing to NATO logistics
chains. It’s also investing heavily in space-based
14:20 - 14:25
surveillance and communications infrastructure,
aiming to boost early warning systems and secure
14:25 - 14:30
digital networks across Northern Europe. On the
ground, troop numbers are increasing, and Sweden
14:30 - 14:34
is improving its rapid deployment capabilities
to ensure forces can mobilize quickly in a
14:34 - 14:40
crisis. But perhaps most significantly, Sweden
is deepening regional cooperation with Finland,
14:40 - 14:44
Norway, and the Baltic States. This includes
joint military exercises, intelligence sharing,
14:44 - 14:50
and operational deployments designed to reinforce
NATO’s eastern flank. Sweden is also contributing
14:50 - 14:55
to NATO’s new “Baltic Sentry” mission, aimed
at enhancing the alliance’s presence in the
14:55 - 14:59
Baltic Sea and protecting critical undersea
infrastructure. The operation reflects growing
14:59 - 15:04
concern about hybrid threats and the vulnerability
of maritime assets, particularly in light of
15:04 - 15:08
recent incidents in the region. Swedish
forces have also been involved in forward
15:08 - 15:14
land deployments alongside Finnish troops and are
contributing to rotational NATO forces in Latvia.
15:14 - 15:18
From shared surveillance missions to cross-border
logistics coordination, Sweden is cementing its
15:18 - 15:23
role as a key security partner in Northern Europe.
And with its defense spending set to outpace much
15:23 - 15:28
of the continent, it’s helping to raise the
bar. And let’s be clear, this is bipartisan.
15:28 - 15:32
Sweden’s coalition government includes a mix of
the Moderates, Liberals, Christian Democrats,
15:32 - 15:37
and Centre Party, with strong support from the
Sweden Democrats, who, surprisingly, despite
15:37 - 15:42
their nationalist leanings are fully backing this
aid effort. Matheus Enholm, deputy chair of the
15:42 - 15:47
parliamentary defense committee, said plainly that
Ukraine will gain new capabilities “both above and
15:47 - 15:52
below the sea surface.” That includes unmanned
naval vessels, new radar systems, and enhanced
15:52 - 15:58
coastal defense tools. Meanwhile, Mikael Oscarsson
from the Christian Democrats didn’t hold back when
15:58 - 16:01
describing the scale of the threat. Drawing
on intelligence from both Sweden’s Military
16:01 - 16:07
Intelligence and Security Service (also known as
MUST) and Denmark’s intelligence community, he
16:07 - 16:11
warned that Sweden and the rest of Europe should
be preparing for a new regional war, possibly
16:11 - 16:16
within just a few years. And when a country that
stayed out of both World Wars is sounding alarms
16:16 - 16:21
like that, people most certainly listen. Sweden’s
not just thinking about Ukraine. It’s thinking
16:21 - 16:25
about itself, and about the entire northern
European region. If Russia pushes further into
16:25 - 16:30
the Baltics or ramps up pressure in the Arctic
or the Barents Sea, Sweden needs to be ready and
16:30 - 16:35
organized. This aid package is a signal that it's
not just preparing to help others but to defend
16:35 - 16:40
its own territory if it comes to that. Gulan
Avci, the Liberal Party’s defense spokesperson,
16:40 - 16:46
focused on one specific area: long-range strike
capability. According to Avci, Ukraine has asked
16:46 - 16:51
for systems that can reach deep into Russian-held
territory, targeting command centers, ammo depots,
16:51 - 16:55
and supply routes. Sweden’s response? They’re
stepping up production of long-range drones and
16:55 - 17:00
ground-target missiles designed specifically
for that kind of mission. “It is precisely
17:00 - 17:04
for that purpose,” she said. “To reach Russian
military targets in depth.” Remember, this is a
17:04 - 17:09
country that only joined NATO a year ago and it’s
already delivering military aid with this level of
17:09 - 17:14
precision, this level of strategic planning, and
this level of political will in such a short space
17:14 - 17:19
of time. It’s fair to say that Ukraine is grateful
but a little surprised. They’ve been sounding the
17:19 - 17:23
alarm for months, saying they need more help,
faster real help but with fewer conditions.
17:23 - 17:28
And while some nations have hesitated, Sweden has
acted decisively. The message from Kyiv has been
17:28 - 17:33
consistent: “Send us what we need to survive.”
And Sweden has replied, “We’re on it.” But the
17:33 - 17:37
impact of this package won’t just be measured in
dollars or drones. It’s going to be measured in
17:37 - 17:41
outcomes on the battlefield. By giving Ukraine
the tools to defend and maybe even push forward,
17:41 - 17:45
Sweden is helping prevent further Russian
advances. And in doing so, it's buying time.
17:45 - 17:50
Time to persuade other countries to give more
aid. Time to provide more training. And time for
17:50 - 17:55
a longer-term strategy to come together That time
also matters when it comes to diplomacy. With talk
17:55 - 18:00
of potential ceasefire negotiations looming, the
more territory Ukraine can hold, or even reclaim,
18:00 - 18:05
the stronger its position will be at the ceasefire
table. Every day that Ukrainian forces avoid being
18:05 - 18:10
pushed further back is a day that preserves
leverage in any future talks. Thus, Sweden’s
18:10 - 18:14
support isn’t just helping on the battlefield;
it’s helping shape what a future settlement could
18:14 - 18:19
look like. So what does this mean for Sweden? In a
word: Transformed. Sweden is now fully embedded in
18:19 - 18:25
NATO, standing not on the sidelines, but firmly on
the front foot. It has emerged as a key backer of
18:25 - 18:30
Ukraine, not just with words, but with action. A
nation once associated with quiet diplomacy is now
18:30 - 18:35
playing a pivotal role in shaping the course of
a major European conflict. But Sweden isn’t just
18:35 - 18:40
looking at tanks, missiles, and drones. It’s
thinking bigger. It’s laying the foundations
18:40 - 18:45
for space-based defense technology such as
satellite surveillance, secure communications,
18:45 - 18:49
precision guidance systems, and the kind of
future-facing tools that will shape the conflicts
18:49 - 18:54
of tomorrow. This isn’t reactionary policy. It’s
a strategic vision. And that vision is clear.
18:54 - 18:59
Sweden intends to become one of the most capable,
adaptable, and forward-thinking militaries in
18:59 - 19:03
Northern Europe. Not because it wants to go to
war, but because it understands that stability
19:03 - 19:08
requires strength, and deterrence requires
credibility. In doing so, Sweden is writing
19:08 - 19:12
a new chapter in its national story. One where
it doesn’t just protect its own interests but
19:12 - 19:17
contributes meaningfully to the wider security of
the continent. One where it steps in, stands tall,
19:17 - 19:22
and shows what real commitment looks like,
not just to treaties and alliances, but to
19:22 - 19:27
principles. To freedom. To sovereignty. To stand
by those under threat, even when it’s difficult.
19:27 - 19:32
Because this isn’t just about Ukraine. It’s about
Europe. It’s about sending a message, a message to
19:32 - 19:37
all allies, to adversaries, and to anyone who’s
watching that aggression won’t go unanswered.
19:37 - 19:42
And for a small country with a long history of
peacekeeping, that message carries weight. So,
19:42 - 19:47
yes, Ukraine is surprised. No one expected Sweden
to take such a bold, uncompromising stance. But
19:47 - 19:52
perhaps that’s exactly the kind of surprise the
world needs right now. But what do you think? Is
19:52 - 19:56
Sweden showing Ukraine's allies how it’s done?
Has it set a new standard for what military
19:56 - 20:01
support looks like in 2025? Drop your thoughts
