Ukraine’s medics risk everything to save others. Now we follow how they fight to recover. https://t.co/WvJX8Eh21t

When you hear these numbers — it breaks you. At the Crimea Platform event in Stockholm with HM Queen Silvia, we discussed 🇷🇺abduction of 🇺🇦 children. Yale’s Nathaniel Raymond reports 35,000+ taken, 314 adopted in ru, 2,400 sent to Belarus. If this doesn’t mobilize us — what will?

Today at the Fourth Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimea Platform, I reaffirmed Sweden’s unwavering support for Ukraine and Ukraine’s right to independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. Crimea is Ukraine – as are Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.

The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion. From the very first minutes of February 24, Putin has been waging

Amid all the uncertainty, one priority is clear: strengthening Ukraine’s defense. Met with @CarlOskar, Sweden’s Minister for Civil Defence. Grateful for Sweden’s steady, practical support and readiness to step up assistance when it matters most.

Revealing mathematics from Sweden’s Foreign Minister. Europe is indeed helping Ukraine in an unprecedented way. But it is still not enough.

Only 100 miles from EU border. On Nov 19, Ternopil suffered its deadliest attack since the start of the war: 26 killed, nearly 100 injured, 26 missing. Three were children. Ukraine mourns these lives stolen by ru terror.

💔“My wife and children are missing, I don’t believe they’re alive… The kids got scared, so we turned on cartoons for them… I was in the hallway and wanted to grab some things to get the family out, but then the explosion happened… I don’t know if they’ll be found. I don’t

72 cadets from the Swedish Military Academy Karlberg ran an 82-km ultramarathon to fundraise for Ukraine — raising about $4.7K to support the mental health of children in 🇺🇦. True leadership in action. We welcomed them at the Embassy with cake — well deserved after 82 km!

Deeply moved. Apotea, Sweden’s largest online pharmacy, is sending 250 combat medical backpacks worth hundreds of thousands of dollars — bringing the total to 1,000, alongside 19 truckloads of aid worth over $3.4M. Sweden’s solidarity saves lives. 🇺🇦🇸🇪

Met with the newly appointed U.S. Amb. to 🇸🇪 Christine Toretti. I briefed her on the latest brutal attacks against 🇺🇦 energy system. When she asked about the mood in Ukraine, I said: Ukrainians don’t give up. But we must strengthen sanctions against the aggressor. Good meeting

My interview for one of Sweden’s top media — Dagens Industri. Key messages: • The Gripen deal is not just about jets – it’s about Europe’s security architecture. • Supporting Ukraine = investing in global stability. • Sweden shows true leadership. 🇺🇦🇸🇪

Efter några månader på jobbet kunde Ukrainas ambassadör i Sverige fira det avtal som kan utmynna i köpet av 100–150 Gripenplan från Saab. Hon tror inte att konkurrentländer sätter käppar i hjulen. ...
