Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has deeply shaken the European security system, prompting, among many other changes, Sweden to pursue membership in NATO. How exactly has Moscow’s aggression changed Stockholm’s military priorities, and what does the future of Northern European security hold? Join Hudson Institute for a conversation on these questions and more between Ambassador of Sweden to the United States Karin Olofsdotter and Senior Fellow Michael Doran.
