History
The Ukraine has a long and storied history, however the Ukraine today began a mere 28 years ago. At the end of the cold war in 1993 the Russian Empire was in turmoil and Ukraine, which has a long history of rebellion and independence, took its chance to secede from the empire. In a mostly peaceful move that saw Minimal resistance from Moscow, the newly declared Commission for the Governance of Ukraine distanced themselves from the Empire and declared independence from the empire.
Since independence one of the major issues in the Ukraine has been the split between those wishing to align with the resurgent Russian Empire and those who wished for a potential entrance into NATO and alignment with the United States and the West. A major incident that occurred eleven years after independence was the Orange Revolution over a rigged election and corruption in the Ukraine. After the revolution a new government came into power and the office of the Prime Minister was abolished and executive power was completely centralized into the Presidential Office.
In 2014 the Russian Empire entered Crimea and annexed the territory back into the Empire, using this as reasoning several eastern provinces of Ukraine rebelled and sparked off a civil war in the Donbas region. The war has turned into a stalemate as the rebels, who are suspected to have Russian backing, hold their positions against the Government forces who under the newly elected president (2019) have reorganized and rearmed. Many expect the president to re open the war and attempt to take the region back with newly placed overwhelming force.

Breakdown of ground forces The Great Northern Army; A successor of the great armies which conquered Poland and parts of Russia. The modern military of Sweden has seen increased budget since 2002 and with increased Swedish nationalism in Sweden a large amount of young men go to apply. The army is equipped with modern weapons and a new Swedish arms industry has opened up following the increased budget. Military connections have increased with both NATO and Russia, mostly with civilian contractors, and Sweden has become a major arms dealer as many rifles are sold both domestically and abroad. With conscription many men often opt for reserve status following their mandatory 2 years of military service, gaining them a boosted annual income with only retraining happening every 4 years and war being a distant thing.
Breakdown of naval naval forces The Swedish navy has had a few budget cuts since 2016 but still remains a major power not only among the Nordics but as Europe as a whole, with Swedish cruisers being seen in events such as the Cod Wars aiding the Icelandic boats and saving civilian vessels of Norway, Denmark and Finland. Composed of around 120,000 active personnel they are a large and active force.

Extra Armed Forces details The Swedish Armed Forces have a military police detachment which has become a notable unit within the U.N, with them being deployed across the world on several different missions and being a devestating force against criminals. They number around 50,000 In 2015 a scandal rocked the military as many were exposed to be members of a far-right group known as the Peoples Unity Party. The Swedish Armed Forces are generally a quite large and well trained and equipped force, this is often seen as a downside but the king has on many occasions just simply denied any effort to reduce the budget.
Ongoing major and minor domestic Issues
The criminal South; a diverse part of the country (though none of these are permanent citizens) is the southern part of the country, specifically Malmö. The city is divided between gangs, political extremists and is prone to being heavy military police deployment. Following the Immigration Reduction act of 2019 the areas have become only more violent and unstable with often small riots opening up in the city.
The Swedish Revolutionary Organization; a militia which often is responsible for terrorist attacks. In 2020 they were responsible for a spout of attacks in which several military police officials in Malmö and Gothenburg got assassinated by car bombs and sniper attacks.
Svenska enhetsstaten; with the beginning of the Svenska enhetsstaten the country has become more not only nationalistic and monarchist but big. Many Swedes are having kids and raising them in a curriculum teaching national pride, loyalty and devotion to the king.

History
Sweden has for the most part remained conservative in its leanings, building up a large civilian economy which is heavily intertwined with the rest of Europe.
In WW1 an emergence of Swedish support for Germany would emerge but the King, seeking to keep Sweden in peace, did not follow the Swedish publics wish for an open declaration of support for Germany. And with the conclusion of WW1 and the roaring 20s the Swedish economy would be heavily industrialized with a large industry opening up outside of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö and a large and long set of railways being built across all of Sweden. In 1932 there was no attempt to create a welfare state, in fact it was heavily opposed. A new Swedish model advocating for public growth, a large series of policies would lead to the foundation of what would become known as the "Svenska enhetsstaten". They would advocate for population growth, a breakdown of class, a union of the Swedish people behind the king.
Following WW2 Sweden would grant passage to German troops, although this did come at an economic cost for Germany as every single soldier had to purchase a train ticket and the German government had to pay a "Transportation Tax". During the Winter War Sweden would also contact Mannerheim and loads of Swedish people in Finland leading to increased nationalism in the Swedish parts of Finland. 2 attempted revolutions by the hands of Sweden backed seperatist movements have failed in the country, one in 1941 and one in 1945. In 1947 the Swedish Nazi party would be banned but the
In 1952 a Nordic Military Pact would be founded as Iceland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway would sign a mutual defence pact but sore tensions with Finland would halt any attempt to bring them into the pact. During the 70s and 80s Sweden would see a large amount of growth as the population of the country would dramatically increase thanks to the Svenska enhetsstaten policies leading to a sort of "family" state, with the average mother having around 4 children. This would slow down eventually but lead to large economic growth and many Swedish people emigrating to the U.S, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Finland. In the 80s the country would suffer a crime wave and an uproar in political tensions leading to calls for the government to back down.
In 1978 the Swedish National Arms Company would be founded and the party would go on to create a large amount of firearms and become a major competitor in Europe, rivaling Heckler and Koch in popularity and even in some countries sales. In 2010 Sweden would sign deals with the U.S to purchase around 100 F-22s and 20 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs and over the course of 13 years under a private agreement with around 39 billion USD being paid to the companies and an agreement with the U.S itself to secure military training with the equipment. In 1989 the purchase of 5 S-300 missile systems from Russia would begin with the purchase of around 90 missiles for each missile system. The contract would go on to be around 1,025 million dollars. This would mark the start of what is often called within Sweden the "Age of the Roaring Lion" in which Sweden aimed to expand its military influence across the Nordics.
In 1973 Gustav VI Adollf died and a vote in parliament to remove the absolute powers of the monarchy was started by the then popular Swedish Democratic Party. Prince Gustaf Adolf would ascend to the throne as Gustav VII Adolf would ascend to the throne, dying in 1992. He would veto the parliaments vote to remove the absolute powers and begin a series of reforms which would create the foundation for the modern Swedish military and for greater economic growth, nationalization of companies and a government backed investment initiative to bring more economic growth to Sweden. Following his death the current monarch, Carl XVI Gustaf, would become king and would go on to build up Karlstad, a major monarchist stronghold in Sweden, into a paradise of culture in the Nordics. With the foundation of such places as the North Germanic gardens, the Swedish-Norwegian Friendship Plaza and many more buildings celebrating Swedish artists, cultural icons, kings of the past and even many North Germanic figures. In 2003 an education initiative would begin as a part of an economic plan to bring forth about new Swedish national industries as many kids were introduced to new specialized jobs, bringing about new growth to some of the minor sectors in the Swedish economy. This would all be rocked in 2006 as a major scandal within the education department of Sweden would be exposed and many teachers and such arrested and sometimes executed for pedophilia.
For a long time Swedish immigration had started to scale up, with around 1 million in 2021 being of non-Norse or non-Finnic origin and around 300,000 being Finnic. This has lead to a large amount of problems in the most diverse part of the country, Malmö. A city heavily divided between political extremists, gangs and the military police attempting to gain total control. The region would often be wrecked with gunfire. Ever since 2001 when following 9/11 a bunch of islamic fundamentalists committed an attack on the Malmö Regional Administration building leading to the deaths of 57 and the wounding of more than 300 the region has been locked under what would be described as total martial law. With the Swedish king appointing the head of the Swedish military police to the region.
Goals Public and Private
Public: Fostering the Nordic pact to become an economic union, the establishment of the Åland islands as either independent, Swedish or regions within Finland with major autonomy. A broader economic initiative and economic deals with countries around northern Europe.
Private: The annexation of Swedish land in Finland, the union of the Nordics into a country, the creation of a formidable united Nordic military.

And with the conclusion of WW1 and the roaring 20s the Swedish economy would be heavily industrialized with a large industry opening up outside of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö and a large and long set of railways being built across all of Sweden. In 1932 there was no attempt to create a welfare state, in fact it was heavily opposed. A new Swedish model advocating for public growth, a large series of policies would lead to the foundation of what would become known as the "Svenska enhetsstaten". They would advocate for population growth, a breakdown of class, a union of the Swedish people behind the king.
Following WW2 Sweden would grant passage to German troops, although this did come at an economic cost for Germany as every single soldier had to purchase a train ticket and the German government had to pay a "Transportation Tax". During the Winter War Sweden would also contact Mannerheim and loads of Swedish people in Finland leading to increased nationalism in the Swedish parts of Finland. 2 attempted revolutions by the hands of Sweden backed seperatist movements have failed in the country, one in 1941 and one in 1945. In 1947 the Swedish Nazi party would be banned but the
In 1952 a Nordic Military Pact would be founded as Iceland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway would sign a mutual defence pact but sore tensions with Finland would halt any attempt to bring them into the pact. During the 70s and 80s Sweden would see a large amount of growth as the population of the country would dramatically increase thanks to the Svenska enhetsstaten policies leading to a sort of "family" state, with the average mother having around 4 children. This would slow down eventually but lead to large economic growth and many Swedish people emigrating to the U.S, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Finland. In the 80s the country would suffer a crime wave and an uproar in political tensions leading to calls for the government to back down.
In 1978 the Swedish National Arms Company would be founded and the party would go on to create a large amount of firearms and become a major competitor in Europe, rivaling Heckler and Koch in popularity and even in some countries sales. In 2010 Sweden would sign deals with the U.S to purchase around 100 F-22s and 20 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs and over the course of 13 years under a private agreement with around 39 billion USD being paid to the companies and an agreement with the U.S itself to secure military training with the equipment. In 1989 the purchase of 5 S-300 missile systems from Russia would begin with the purchase of around 90 missiles for each missile system. The contract would go on to be around 1,025 million dollars. This would mark the start of what is often called within Sweden the "Age of the Roaring Lion" in which Sweden aimed to expand its military influence across the Nordics.
In 1973 Gustav VI Adollf died and a vote in parliament to remove the absolute powers of the monarchy was started by the then popular Swedish Democratic Party. Prince Gustaf Adolf would ascend to the throne as Gustav VII Adolf would ascend to the throne, dying in 1992. He would veto the parliaments vote to remove the absolute powers and begin a series of reforms which would create the foundation for the modern Swedish military and for greater economic growth, nationalization of companies and a government backed investment initiative to bring more economic growth to Sweden. Following his death the current monarch, Carl XVI Gustaf, would become king and would go on to build up Karlstad, a major monarchist stronghold in Sweden, into a paradise of culture in the Nordics. With the foundation of such places as the North Germanic gardens, the Swedish-Norwegian Friendship Plaza and many more buildings celebrating Swedish artists, cultural icons, kings of the past and even many North Germanic figures. In 2003 an education initiative would begin as a part of an economic plan to bring forth about new Swedish national industries as many kids were introduced to new specialized jobs, bringing about new growth to some of the minor sectors in the Swedish economy. This would all be rocked in 2006 as a major scandal within the education department of Sweden would be exposed and many teachers and such arrested and sometimes executed for pedophilia.
For a long time Swedish immigration had started to scale up, with around 1 million in 2021 being of non-Norse or non-Finnic origin and around 300,000 being Finnic. This has lead to a large amount of problems in the most diverse part of the country, Malmö. A city heavily divided between political extremists, gangs and the military police attempting to gain total control. The region would often be wrecked with gunfire. Ever since 2001 when following 9/11 a bunch of islamic fundamentalists committed an attack on the Malmö Regional Administration building leading to the deaths of 57 and the wounding of more than 300 the region has been locked under what would be described as total martial law. With the Swedish king appointing the head of the Swedish military police to the region.

Are these Russian 95,000 troops in the border with the rebel states or just generally “On the border” of Ukraine?
