The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the representations made by Aftonbladet (AB) and Dagens Nyheter (DN) of Swedish security policy due to the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 2022. The period of the investigation is one week for each conflict, based on when Russian troops officially invaded Ukraine.The essay has been done through a qualitative content analysis and a security policy theory. The results as for the Crimea conflict in 2014 show Swedish security policy changing tune after recognising the worse security position in Sweden´s immediate area and increased resources for the armoured forces. As for the Russian invasion 2022 many different consequences occurred for example again increased spending for the armoured forces, direct sanctions against Russia and Sweden sent apart from aide also military equipment to Ukraine.The analysis results showed that Sweden stopped focusing on inward-facing security policy goals and are today placing as much focus on outward-looking security policy goals.
