- European politicians need to acknowledge and address the threat posed by Russia's disinformation and political pressure tactics.
- Sweden recognizes Russia as the main threat and emphasizes the importance of being vigilant against potential attacks.
- It is crucial to stop underestimating Russia's real threat to European security and NATO, as their aggressive motives are becoming increasingly evident.
- The need for greater mobilization of societies and economies to prevent a potential catastrophic attack on the Baltic states is paramount.
Russia is preparing an attack on the Baltic states
According to him, unfortunately, the Russians are now managing to convince Europe that they definitely do not want to attack them in the future.
Of course, they actually want, they are looking for opportunities to find and accumulate resources, they are preparing and informationally attacking NATO countries in order to weaken the governments politically, to unbalance the Alliance itself.

He also noted that most European politicians do not have the internal strength to talk to European societies about the real threat, they do not want to lose ratings for decisions on greater mobilization of societies and economies.
The Russians are preparing actions against the Baltic countries, and under the current circumstances, 4-6 years is the time they need. The term that will happen if Europe does not stop considering the war with Russia as not their problem.
He also added that "Europe resembles an ostrich that hides its head from reality and is satisfied with the Russian delusion that there are no aggressive motives."
Sweden considers Russia the main threat
According to the head of the defense department, the authorities of his country have no right to ignore the risk of an attack by Russia.
In addition, he emphasized that the Russian Federation "is the main threat to Sweden" and poses a threat to the entire NATO.
Right now, Russia's freedom of action is limited because its ground forces are bogged down on the battlefield (in Ukraine. — ed.), but we take into account that Russia is ready to take great military and political risks, Paul Jonson emphasized.
