NATO’s future and the Russian threat: Sweden speaks out | Pål Jonson
Sweden’s Defense Minister Pål Jonson joins TVP World’s Aaron Dahmen for an exclusive interview on the sidelines of the GLOBSEC Forum. Jonson discusses the future of NATO, Europe’s growing responsibility for its own security, and the threat posed by Russia. He stresses that the United States has for years urged European countries to increase defense spending, and that Europe must now transform its economic strength into real military capability, highlighting Poland as a leading example of rapid military modernization.
Jonson emphasizes that NATO’s northern flank has become significantly stronger since Sweden and Finland joined the alliance. According to the Swedish Defense Minister, Europe must be prepared to take on a greater share of conventional deterrence, although he does not believe the Donald Trump administration is abandoning NATO.
The discussion also covers Ukraine, which Sweden wants to bring as close as possible to Euro-Atlantic structures, arguing that Ukraine’s battlefield experience and defense industry are strategically valuable for Europe’s future security.
