Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström emphasized that military and political support for Ukraine from Sweden will remain.
Russia will remain a serious threat to the security of Sweden and Europe in the near future. This is what Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström said, reports Dagens Nyheter.
“We must prepare for a long-term confrontation that will last as long as Russia continues to violate the UN Charter and the European security order,” the Swedish official said.
According to him, military and political support for Ukraine from Sweden will continue. He added that his country welcomes the EU’s decision to accept Ukraine as a member.
“Ukrainian soldiers are also fighting for our freedom and values,” Billstrom concluded.
We remind you that Swedish Defense Minister Paul Johnson said that Stockholm needs to buy artillery ammunition for itself and for shipping to Ukraine – the capacity of factories must increase.
As we have already written, the commander of the Swedish army, General Mikael Büden, said that he is waiting for political decisions on Gripen fighters. Ukraine can receive them, although the main aircraft is the F-16.
