After the French armed forces joined the Swedish-led FLF (Forward Land Forces) base in Finland, two hundred French soldiers will be deployed in the town of Boden in northern Sweden.
“Elchi” reports that the SVT television channel has provided information on this matter.
The decision is expected to be made during a meeting between French President Emmanuel Macron and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson at the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8.
According to SVT, it is not yet known which specific French unit is involved, but mountain troops specializing in winter combat operations in subarctic conditions are being mentioned.
