It’s been 20 years today since we lost our dear colleague and Minister for Foreign Affairs Anna Lindh. During her time as minister, she had a strong impact on human rights, democracy and peace efforts.

Her valuable work & memory live on here at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs🕯️

Sweden is currently the target of malign influence campaigns, aimed at harming Swedish interests & ultimately Swedish citizens.

The things we share online can have big consequences. We can all do our bit to stop disinformation by sharing responsibly.

[Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs @SweMFA]

Today we also mark Ukraine's 31st Day of Independence. 🇸🇪 has stood by 🇺🇦 in unwavering support of its sovereignty & territorial integrity. #Ukraine defends not only its own citizens & borders against Russia's illegal aggression, Ukraine defends Europe. Our support will continue.

[Ann Linde @AnnLinde]

Today marks 2 yrs since the fraudulent presidential elections in #Belarus, which escalated systemic repression of a whole nation. 🇸🇪 & 🇪🇺 will continue to stand by the courageous Belarusian people in firm support of democratic, independent, sovereign, stable & prosperous Belarus.

[Rasa Ostrauskaite @RasaOstrauskai2]

At today's Special #PC, 🇪🇺 condemned 🇷🇺 military activities around #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is the largest in Europe. This is a serious and irresponsible breach of #nuclear safety rules and another example of 🇷🇺 disregard for int'l norms.

Today I spoke at the #NPTRevCon #NPT2022 emphasizing need for collaboration on peaceful uses of nuclear technology and Swedish Government's support to @iaeaorg. But of course the Russian seizure of nuclear power plants in Ukraine was condemned and center stage. @SwedenUN_Vienna

[Ann Linde @AnnLinde]

The 🇸🇪 government has decided to send 120 military instructors to the UK to train the Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Armed Forces. Part of the cooperation in the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF). We stand with 🇺🇦.

Today, we mark the 14th anniversary of the war between Russia and Georgia. Sweden supports Georgia’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. We call on Russia to respect international law and fulfill its commitments under the ceasefire agreement of 12 August 2008.

[Gesa Braeutigam @GeBraeutigam]

Wars have rules.

Shelling of a POW camp, inhuman, disgusting maltreatment of POWs are further examples of the hideous & horrendous acts #Russian forces conduct in🇺🇦.
This isn’t an army- this is an armed group of criminals.

All responsible in deed & word must be held accountable

[Ann Linde @AnnLinde]

Horrified by yet another report of atrocities in Ukraine. This time from #Olenivka where dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war, registered by @ICRC, are reported to have been killed. Accountability for war crimes needs to be ensured. @IntlCrimCourt

Thank you @HelgaSchmid_SG for presenting the Report on the Implementation of the 2004 @OSCE Action Plan on the Promotion of Gender Equality.

As stated by SG, everyday 🇺🇦 women and girls face an increased risk of trafficking, abuse, and sexual violence due to the 🇷🇺 aggression.
