      <abstract>
        <p>This article examines vulnerabilities in Sweden’s logistics and infrastructure systems within the total defence framework and considers which lessons from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine may inform efforts to strengthen national resilience. Using qualitative analysis of policy documents, infrastructure disruptions, and Ukraine’s wartime experiences, the study conceptualises logistics as a strategic capability linking civilian infrastructure and military operations. The findings identify vulnerabilities in fragmented coordination structures, transport capacity constraints, and insufficient infrastructure repair capability. Ukraine’s experience highlights the importance of redundancy, decentralised repair capacity, and adaptive civil-military cooperation for maintaining logistical functionality under conditions of sustained disruption.</p>
