Sweden has distributed more than 5 million pamphlets to its citizens, asking them to be prepared for war. After this, the question has arisen, is another war going to start now?

 

Finland War Leaflets: On the one hand, the war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for more than two and a half years, on the other hand, Israel has also been fighting a war with Hamas for a year. Meanwhile, the cries of a new war have started to be heard and Sweden has distributed more than 5 million leaflets to its citizens, telling them to prepare for war. The leaflet contains clear instructions on how to store food materials and water, while being prepared for the possibility of war. After this, the question has arisen, is another war going to start now?

Increased tension for Sweden and Finland

Meanwhile, Sweden's neighbour Finland has also created a new website on the preparations. In addition, Norwegians have also recently received pamphlets telling them how to survive on their own for a week in case of war and other dangers. Both Sweden and Finland moved towards joining the US-led military alliance NATO after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, ending decades of military non-alignment.

What instructions did Sweden give its citizens?

Citing the horrific security situation, Sweden has been advising its people from the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict to be mentally as well as logically prepared for a war situation. The brochure titled 'If crisis or war strikes' gives information about being prepared for emergencies such as war, natural disasters or cyber attacks. It is distributed by the Swedish Civil Contingency Agency (MSB).

"The risk of the use of nuclear weapons has increased in the global security situation," the pamphlet said, according to the Daily Mail. The updated version of the pamphlet also carried out a message: "If Sweden is attacked by another country, we will never give up. All information about ending the resistance is false."

Sweden has not fought a war in 200 years.

However, if a situation of war happens then it will be a serious challenge for Sweden, because Sweden has not fought a war for 200 years and does not have the experience to deal with a war-like situation. Sweden's last war was the Swedish-Norwegian War, fought in 1814. Sweden was victorious in this war, due to which the King of Denmark was forced to hand over Norway to Sweden. Norway was then forced to enter into a personal union with Sweden, which lasted until 1905.

Did Biden's decision fuel the war?

The development comes at a time when the rift between Russia and Ukraine's Western allies has widened to unprecedented levels. US President Joe Biden has allowed Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia. The decision has sparked outrage not only from Russia but also from supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, who promised to cut US aid to Ukraine and bring the conflict to an early conclusion
