Swedish Prime Minister Says Baltic Sea Is Now ‘High-risk’

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson told Nordic and Baltic leaders that the Baltic Sea is now considered “high-risk” after two fiber-optic undersea cables were severed. The Guardian reported on speculation that a Chinese ship could have been involved, but Kristersson declined to name names. “Now we are careful about not accusing anybody right now of anything. We don’t know that this is sabotage. But we are investigating the matter very carefully.”
