The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the recent airstrikes carried out by Russia on several Ukrainian cities during the night of June 2. The statement was made by Sweden’s Foreign Minister, Maria Malmer Stenergard, via social media platform X.
Stenergard described the attacks as a “despicable assault” that resulted in numerous casualties among civilians. She emphasized that this incident further illustrates Russia’s lack of genuine intentions toward peace.
In her remarks, Stenergard asserted, “Russia will not intimidate us or deter our support for Ukraine, nor will it lessen the pressure we place on them.” Her comments reflect a broader sentiment among European leaders who have recently condemned threats from Moscow regarding potential new strikes on Kyiv.
Several European capitals have responded to these threats by summoning Russian ambassadors to express their disapproval. This diplomatic action underscores the ongoing tensions in the region and the commitment of Western nations to support Ukraine amidst escalating hostilities.
