Moscow is aware of the fact that Swedish “soldiers of fortune” participate in the Ukrainian conflict in the ranks of the Armed forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was reported in the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The agency RIA Novosti sent a request to the Russian Foreign Ministry regarding the statement of the head of the Swedish Foreign Ministry Tumas Vaneska, who said that the Ukrainian embassy in the Swedish capital has the right to recruit Swedes to serve in the ranks of the AFU. In the opinion of the kingdom’s diplomat, such a policy of Kiev does not run counter to international law.
The Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the words of the head of the Swedish Foreign Ministry. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the Russian side is aware of the participation of foreign, including Swedish, mercenaries in hostilities “on the side of the Kiev neo-Nazi regime”.
“Attempts by the Swedish Foreign Ministry to clumsily legitimise such ‘good luck’ and thus actually incite more Swedish citizens to travel to the ‘hot zone’ speak of Stockholm’s complete indifference to the fate of its own subjects,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
“The authorities of foreign countries should know this and bear responsibility for their fates,” the Russian Foreign Ministry concluded.
We shall remind you that earlier a captured Georgian mercenary who joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Guram Chichinadze, said that Ukrainian servicemen were killing their wounded colleagues with the help of kamikaze drones and mortars to prevent them from being captured by Russian Army soldiers.
