If you’re wondering why Sweden and Finland broke with neutrality and joined Nato, just look at the map.
Long before 2022 and Vladimir Putin’s play for Ukraine’s capital, Stockholm was already boosting its military, reintroducing a base on the strategic island of Gotland in 2018. Across the Baltic Sea, there’s the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. France 24 went to Gotland.
