After the entry of Finland and Sweden, four north states began to combine military resources and prepare for a possible armed conflict with Russia.
Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden have joined forces to combat Russia’s potential aggression, even though NATO support has weakened. This method is called “Plan B” if the alliance does not work. It reports about it The Wall Street Journal On Tuesday, April 22th.
After Finland and Sweden entered NATO, four northern countries began to combine military resources and prepare for a possible armed conflict with Russia, which, according to analysts, at the end of the decade would return the potential battle to deal with the alliance.
Each of the countries has its own expert: Sweden is a developed defense industry (in particular, the manufacture of submarines, warriors and tanks), Norway has advanced sea and Arctic capabilities, Finland is one of European’s largest army and strong artillery, Denmark – the experience of special forces, including Afghanistan and Iraq. Together they have GDP, only a little smaller Russian.
The Northern Bloc can serve as a model for other countries of countries, for example, around the Black Sea, Matthew PESU, a senior researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Relations. According to him, the model can also be insurance for the future if, due to Trump’s actions, the transatlantic alliance will rot.
In 2023, the countries combined their air forces with the general command and adopted the general concept of defense until 2030 as part of the Nordefco initiative. This is the first of such organizations in the region since the 15th century, former NATO secretary General Jens Stoltenberg emphasized.
“This is a potential plan B if NATO does not work,” Pesu explained.
According to Danish Intelligence, Russia can restore strength and within 3-5 years to begin a war against one or more European countries -especially if the world is completed in Ukraine, which will allow the Kremlin to re -equip the army.
North countries are also included in the list of Ukraine’s most active donors. According to the part of GDP, Denmark – the second, Finland – Fifth, Sweden – Sixth, Norway is the eleventh. Oslo recently doubled Kyiv’s support – up to more than $ 8 billion in 2024. And Copenhagen launched a “Danish model” of help – financially taking the Ukraine government weapons directly to Denmark defense companies in Denmark. The approach is gaining popularity in other EU countries.
“The unity of our defense industries is a very powerful signal for Russia’s restraint,” Anna Vislander said from the Atlantic Council.
Remember that Lithuania enhances the safety of the Suvalka corridor – a sparsely wooden plain population of 100 kilometers, which relates to Poland and Bounds with Belarus, a Russian allies, and Russian Kaliningrad.
Poland said they will be able to defend from Russia “up to two weeks”
