Summary
Ulf Kristersson said at NATO’s leaders’ summit in Ankara that he sees no basis for claims Russia is preparing a conventional attack on a member state.
The Swedish prime minister argued Moscow knows striking a NATO country would be “an extremely bad idea,” pointing to the alliance’s deterrent effect.
His remarks came at a 32-nation NATO gathering in Turkey, where leaders were meeting against a backdrop of continued concern over Russia’s military intentions.
