Support to Ukraine is and remains Sweden’s foremost foreign policy priority, and this is reflected in every call I have with @andrii_sybiha. As long as the Russian aggression continues, Sweden will remain committed to our two-point plan: more support to Ukraine and increased pressure on Russia.

Today we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea @ITLOS_TIDM. International law, including the law of the sea, is a cornerstone of Swedish foreign policy. Sweden is a strong supporter of the important work of international courts and tribunals.

Sweden’s message to all our friends around the world.

🇸🇪 🇺🇦

[Maria M Stenergard @MariaStenergard]

Today marks 11 years since Gui Minhai was detained. His case remains of high priority for the Swedish Government and the EU, which we consistently raise with China. Sweden insists that Gui Minhai must be released and able to reunite with his daughter and family.

[Ulf Kristersson @SwedishPM]

Met President Zelenskyy today. Sweden’s message to all our friends around the world is to put more pressure on Russia, and more support for Ukraine.

Not the other way around.

Today in the #6C, Sweden delivered a statement on universal jurisdiction on behalf of the Nordic countries, reaffirming our unwavering support for the independence and impartiality of the @IntlCrimCourt. There can be no safe havens for those responsible for serious international crimes.

The postponement of the Palestinian legislative elections is deeply regrettable. Palestinians must be able to vote to elect their leadership and representatives to their institutions.

Today, 🇺🇦 and 🇲🇩 took two important steps forward in their accession to the EU. Deeper integration into the single market, as well as increased cooperation on competitiveness, innovation and growth, will bring substantial benefits for Ukrainians, Moldovans, and the EU.

I welcome today’s adoption of 1,600 new sanctions listings against the Russian war economy. This sends a strong signal to Moscow that the EU will not waiver. We will continue to increase our support to Ukraine and the pressure on Russia.
