Worrying reports of explosions and casualties in Poland, close to the Ukrainian border. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and the people of Poland. The Swedish government is closely following the developments.

Sweden is significantly increasing our support to Ukraine’s freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity. Today we announced the largest 🇸🇪 military and humanitarian support packages to 🇺🇦 to date, including ground based air defence system.

Finland and Sweden are strong and able partners, ready to become NATO Allies. In record time, 28 NATO members have already ratified Finland and Sweden’s accession protocols. We hope for the swift support of all our future allies. The time for unity is now. #WeAreNATO #ForMin

A top priority for the new government is to increase military and humanitarian support for Ukraine. Appreciate our close contacts with the Ukrainian leadership. Today a valuable discussion with PM Denys Shmyhal on the latest developments and 🇸🇪 steadfast commitment to 🇺🇦

Had a very good dialogue with SECDEF Austin on the way forward for support to Ukraine and how Sweden and Finland in NATO will strengthen European security.

Welcome to Europaparlamentet i Sverige Ulf Kristersson! @sweden2023eu comes at an important & difficult time. One which requires bold decision-making & leadership. I look forward to working together & deliver: to return to growth, defend our values and continue supporting Ukraine. 🇪🇺🇸🇪

My thoughts are with Ukraine and the families of the victims in today’s tragic helicopter crash in Brovary. Among them Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyy and several of his colleagues. Sweden stands with Ukraine.

Even in the age of firearms, Archers are useful for driving invaders out from 🇺🇦! Thank you to Ulf Kristersson Ulf Kristersson, my colleague Pål Jonson and the 🇸🇪 people for the 10th package of security assistance to Ukraine. Our warriors will master the artillery and vehicles quickly.

Sweden is increasing military assistance to Ukraine with heavy and advanced weapons. We stand with Ukraine together with our international partners. Ukrainian victory is essential for a free Europe.

Russia‘s manipulation of the truth has reached another low point. There is no parallel between Nazi Germany and intl help for Ukraine in defending its territory and people. Holocaust denial, distortion and trivialization are against EU law and EU values. eeas.europa.eu/eeas/ukraine-s…

Today, I got to witness first-hand the incredible airpower and maritime capabilities of the Swedish Armed Forces. It was an honor to see them in action. I look forward to calling Sweden a fellow NATO ally.

Thank you Ulf Kristersson Kristersson for hosting me today for a great discussion. Sweden has long been one of our strongest defense partners. We will look forward to welcoming you soon as a NATO ally.

Irresponsible and disloyal of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to use Hungary’s EU Presidency to visit Moscow and President Putin. It sends the wrong signal to the outside world and is an insult to the Ukrainian people’s fight for their freedom. Viktor Orbán stands alone in
