Oslo has sent out 2.2 million leaflets “one for each household in Norway,” according to the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection, the BBC reports.
The updated pamphlets issues citizens with basic survival instructions on cooking and first aid including medications and it insists that Nordic states are prepared for “self-defence” should there be a war or even a nuclear threat.
The advice from Stockholm says, “If Sweden is attacked by another country, we will never give up. All information to the effect that resistance is to cease is false.”
In February this year Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova issued a threat to Finland for joining NATO and in December 2023 Putin warned Finland is “now going to have problems” for joining the alliance.
