Europeans across the bloc should prepare for a potential conflict with Russia, Swedish defense chief Pal Jonson has said<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

People living in European NATO member states must brace themselves for a possible war with Russia, Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson told RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND) in an interview published on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Jonson’s remarks come as the EU accelerates a broad militarization drive. Brussels has cast Russia as an imminent threat, a narrative Moscow has dismissed as a political distraction from Europe’s domestic crises.<\/p>\n

“To preserve peace, we must prepare ourselves both mentally and militarily for the possibility of war,”<\/em> the official said. “A change in mentality is necessary: We must switch to war mode to resolutely deter, defend, and preserve the peace.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The push for greater defense spending aligns with calls from US President Donald Trump, who has demanded that European members buy more American weapons – including for Ukrainian use. Jonson justified such purchases, saying that Europe “simply doesn’t have or cannot yet produce”<\/em> the necessary systems. “Ukraine needs these assets fast,”<\/em> he said. “If Europe lacks them, it’s logical to procure them from the US.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The European Commission last week unveiled a roadmap outlining its plans to expand joint arms procurement to at least 40% by 2027. The document emphasized the need to “invest more, invest together, and invest European,”<\/em> citing global strategic shifts to other regions among “traditional allies.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Moscow views the Ukraine conflict as a NATO proxy war aimed at undermining Russia’s security following decades of expansion. Sweden is the bloc’s newest member, while Ukraine was promised accession sometime in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
