The commander-in-chief of the Swedish Armed Forces, Mikael Boden, believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin has "set his sights on the island of Gotland" to control the Baltic Sea.
"Yes, I am sure that Putin has both eyes on Gotland. Putin's goal is to gain control over the Baltic Sea. He probably had his eye on the Åland Islands as well. The Russians are closely monitoring what is happening at the entrance and exit of the Baltic Sea," said Boden.
