Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström emphasized the need for the West to create strategic challenges to curb Russia’s behavior, particularly to stop its aggression against Ukraine. He criticized NATO for not doing enough and highlighted Russia’s irresponsible actions, including nuclear threats and ambitions to expand its empire at the expense of independent states. Billström disagreed with French President Emmanuel Macron’s suggestion of deploying Western troops in Ukraine but supported providing Ukraine with military equipment. He stressed that the conflict in Ukraine requires urgent action and political will from all countries. Sweden will contribute €30 million to procure ammunition for Ukraine, in alignment with the Czech Republic’s initiative.
