Does Russia have the army and fighting strength to invade Finland and Sweden?

Sweden and Finland have updated their guidance for citizens on how to survive crisis situations amidst the war in Ukraine. How worried should they be?

“We don’t have any indication that a direct attack is imminent but they’re worried about what’s happening in Ukraine because they border on Russia and who knows what an unpredictable Vladimir Putin could do,” says SAIIA head of African Governance and Diplomacy, Steven Gruzd, in this interview with ChaiFM.
