The Defense Committee of the Swedish Parliament suggests that Russia may launch a military attack on the country.
This is stated in the report of the Committee, reports the Swedish TV channel SVT.
The parliamentary report, due to be published on Monday, notes that although Russian ground forces are in Ukraine, attacks on Sweden cannot be ruled out.
"Russia has also further lowered the threshold for the use of military force and shows a high propensity for political and military risks. Russia's ability to conduct operations using air forces, naval forces, long-range weapons or nuclear weapons against Sweden remains unchanged," - the document says.
According to the TV channel, the report outlines Sweden's new defense doctrine, which is based on NATO membership, unlike the previous doctrine, which was based on cooperation with other Nordic countries and the EU.
Sweden is trying to strengthen its defenses and has applied to join NATO in 2022 after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
So far, only Turkey and Hungary have not ratified Sweden's application for joining the alliance.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg earlier reiterated that Sweden had met all the requirements to join NATO and expressed hope that this would happen before the summit in Vilnius in July.
At the same time, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that he would not support Sweden joining NATO in the near future.
