This was done because of a potential Russian threat to the energy networks of these countries, as surface warships of the Russian fleet were seen near wind farms and submarine power cables. The commander of the Swedish Navy, Admiral Eva Skoog Haslum, said this in an interview with the Finnish edition of Iltalehte.
We are convinced that Russia did it, somehow put the targets on the map,” she said.
The admiral also answered yes to the question of whether the Russians could sabotage and destroy underwater electrical cables. It is to prevent such sabotage that the fleets of Sweden and Finland are on alert.
We are constantly striving both to reflect intentions by being in close proximity to the targets, and to demonstrate our will to self-defense, Skoog Haslum emphasized.
Recall that Western journalists have established that up to 50 Russian ships are sailing in the waters of countries in the North and Baltic Seas, probably collecting intelligence about the energy infrastructure of the Nordic countries.
