Swedish government reacts to the threat from Russia. Border controls from November 12.

The Swedish government announced border controls starting November 12 due to hybrid threats linked to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The decision aims to address increased risks to public order and internal security. The Swedish Border Police will oversee the implementation, focusing on identity checks at border crossings, ports, airports, and rail routes, particularly affecting the Copenhagen-Malmö train service. This is not the first instance of such measures, as Sweden has previously reinstated border controls during the 2015 migration crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic, and in response to organized crime. Other European countries, including France, Germany, Norway, and Denmark, have also implemented similar measures.
