Sweden Urges NATO Consultation After Baltic Sea Cable Sabotage
Following recent incidents in the Baltic Sea, Sweden is considering invoking NATO’s Article 4, prompting consultations among member states. This action, only used seven times previously, signals a serious response to escalating hybrid threats. The government emphasizes the need for a comprehensive NATO strategy rather than reacting to individual events, aiming to deter further antagonistic activities. While maintaining a measured approach, Sweden welcomes increased NATO presence in the region.
