In a move aimed at bolstering national security, Sweden's armed forces have petitioned the government for the expropriation of a Russian-owned property adjacent to the Muskö Naval Base. The request was made due to perceived threats posed by Russian drones and the ambiguous ownership status of the property. Reports suggest a businessman with ties to the Russian state has been constructing a luxury residence on Muskö island, although his wife - holding dual Russian and Swedish citizenship - is the registered owner. This development comes two years after Sweden's historic decision to abandon military neutrality and join NATO in response to Russia's annexation of Crimea. The military stated that the property's location offers unique advantages for enhancing Muskö Naval Base defenses, particularly against drones. The escalating use of Russian drone warfare has significantly altered Sweden's threat landscape, according to the military. Public broadcaster SVT described the property as a persistent irritant for the armed forces. Defence Minister Pål Jonson emphasized the need to ensure no one could gain a tactical advantage or visibility into the site. The Chief of the Defence Staff, Carl-Johan Edström, indicated that Sweden is currently confronting its most serious security situation since the end of World War II. It remains uncertain whether the Russian businessman resides in Sweden at present, with his wife reportedly owning the property since 2017.
