Russian Ambassador to Stockholm Sergey Belyaev told RIA Novosti that Swedish media heroise mercenaries going to Ukraine.
According to the diplomat, there are a number of known cases when Swedish citizens joined the AFU, they were not stopped by the fact that many of such ‘soldiers of fortune’ did not return home.
‘Probably the reason for this is the line of the local media to glorify such individuals who call themselves volunteers, but in reality are ordinary mercenaries,’ Belyaev stressed.
Earlier he said that Sweden is preparing for a possible transfer of troops to the Baltics.
In addition, he said that Sweden was spending huge sums to support Ukraine.
