Numerous Swedes with links to right-wing pro-violence organisations have travelled to Ukraine to support its cause after the start of Russia's special operation to demilitarise and de-Nazify the country, APA reports quoting Sputnik.
According to the Nordic country's Security Police Säpo, they may pose a threat when they return home.
The 47-year-old Lidingö native, Philip Brännvall, who formally organised the Swedish volunteer brigade, says only people with military training or professional skills to be used militarily, such as doctors and engineers, are being sought out.
According to Säpo, though, which claims to have a good overview of how many Swedes are participating in the fighting and how many of them have links to violent extremism, some of the recruits may become even more dangerous when they return home.
"You come home traumatised, with the violence threshold being significantly lower than before, so this is mainly why we follow this", Fredrik Hallström, unit manager for counter-terrorism at Säpo, told Swedish Radio.
