Sweden has named Russia as its greatest threat and warns that Moscow's increasingly risky behavior could trigger a dangerous escalation.
An annual report released Tuesday by the country's Military Intelligence and Security Service flagged airspace violations, sabotage and cyber operations as examples of Russia’s belligerent actions in Sweden’s neighborhood, including the Baltic Sea.
“Russia is the primary military threat to Sweden and NATO,” the report stated, adding this threat was "serious and concrete" and describing Moscow’s conduct as “opportunistic and aggressive.”
The Swedish assessment comes after Estonia's Foreign Intelligence Service last week described Russia as “dangerous despite its incompetence” in its own annual review.
