Grigory Karasin called the aggressive rhetoric of the Scandinavian and Baltic countries a strategic mistake

Political and military leaders in Scandinavia and the Baltic states are making a grave strategic mistake by competing with each other in aggressive rhetoric, said Grigory Karasin, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs. He shared his comment with Lenta.ru.

The head of the Swedish Air Warfare Center, Colonel Karl Bergqvist, previously said that Sweden no longer intends to limit itself to solely defensive actions in the event of a Russian attack. According to him, the Swedish air force is preparing to strike targets deep in Russian territory.

The senator emphasized that all such statements are recorded and remembered, and the UN has already discussed issues of increasing the organization’s requirements for member states.

“Within the United Nations, where a high-level week recently took place, these issues were discussed - to make this organization more effective and demanding of member states. You will have to answer for this, because this is provoking confrontation,” Karasin added.
