Sweden has announced a large-scale food stockpiling initiative in response to growing fears of a potential Third World War as Russia’s military continues its advance in Ukraine. The Swedish Board of Agriculture said the government aims to ensure national food security should global conflict erupt. The plan includes a $57 million allocation to build food warehouses between 2026 and 2028, capable of sustaining every citizen with a minimum of 3,000 calories per day during wartime. Neighboring Finland will begin training its citizens next month on managing daily life under war conditions. Meanwhile, the Kremlin dismissed Sweden’s move as part of what it called “Western anti-Russian hysteria,” questioning why a world war would start because of Russia. Analysts say Sweden’s actions mark one of the strongest signs yet that Europe is bracing for potential large-scale instability.
Sweden fears that if Russian forces continue advancing in Ukraine at the current pace, a third world war could break out as early as 2025 or 2026. In response, the country has announced a national food stockpiling program.
