They do not rule out such a scenario.
Currently, Sweden does not plan to send military personnel to Ukraine , but may consider it if NATO member states agree on this issue.
The Minister of Defense of Sweden, Paul Jonson, told journalists about this, writes Breaking Defense . He left it open to consider such a possibility if an offer comes from NATO allies.
“As far as I understand, there was no unified position among the countries that met at the Paris summit at the beginning of this year. There is no specific proposal here and now. If it appears, a specific proposal, we will be able to consider it,” the minister said.
Sending troops to Ukraine: what is known
We will remind, earlier the President of France Emmanuel Macron said that sending a military contingent to Ukraine should not be ruled out . Recently, he said that this issue will have to be considered if the Russians break through the front, and Ukraine asks for help.
In Lithuania, they said that they were ready to send their soldiers on a training mission , but they did not receive such a request. A similar statement was made in Canada .
The Netherlands and Finland also do not rule out sending troops to Ukraine, but Helsinki “does not see the need for this now.” The mass media reported that Estonia is discussing the possibility of sending troops to the west of Ukraine , which could take on “rear” tasks.
At the same time, the United States, Great Britain, Poland, Spain, Italy and Germany categorically rejected such an idea.

To “consider’ something when there’s a “unified position” on an action is a diplomatic way of saying “this propably won’t happen”. Nothing to see there in Sweden, move on. 🙄
You’re learning quick, Mr. Gray.
I’ve always been good at decyphering diplomatic language, Mr. Facts. I’m usually a trusting guy who takes everything at face value, just not the utterings of politicians and diplomats. 😁
Hear, hear!
“As far as I understand, there was no unified position among the countries that met at the Paris summit at the beginning of this year.”
When does NATO ever have a unified position? At this rate, NATO will still be discussing things as mafia tanks are rolling into Belgium.
All that blathering by NATO makes me sick. The least they could do is patrol their borders with Ukraine and ruZZia and give a few dozen km buffer filled with “peacemakers” so they could free up Ukrainians to go deal with the filth in the east and south.
I’m with you, Red, I’m thoroughly sickened by the West. You can squeeze and kneed the marshmallows all you want, there is no spine anywhere to find.
