Following President Vladimir Putin's move to lower the threshold for using nuclear weapons, NATO countries, including Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, have issued emergency advisories. Citizens are urged to stock essential supplies such as food, water, and medicines. Sweden distributed pamphlets, marking only the 5th instance since WWII, while Finland updated its crisis preparedness guidelines.
