Sweden does not rule out sending its peacekeeping forces to Ukraine

Ulf Kristerssonswedish Prime Minister

There needs to be a very clear mandate for those forces and I don't think we can see that until we have come further in those negotiations. But Sweden, we are normally a part of strengthening security in our part of the world, so I foresee us to be a part of that this time as well

Quote from Kristersson

Ulf Kristerssonswedish Prime Minister

We will take part in those discussions and of course that is absolutely a possibility

When asked by Reuters whether Sweden was ready to contribute to the peacekeeping forces, Kristersson responded

Maria Malmer Stenergardswedish Foreign Minister

We must now first negotiate a just and sustainable peace that respects international law, that respects Ukraine and that first and foremost ensures Russia can't just pull back, build new strength and attack Ukraine or another country in just a few years' time,

Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard said in an interview

Once we have such a peace established we need to ensure it can be maintained and then our government doesn't exclude anything,

she added
