On the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson arrived in Kiev by train with other Nordic-Baltic leaders. During the visit, he met Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyj.
Kristersson emphasized Sweden's support for Ukraine. "As long as Zelenskyj believes in the talks where the US is mediator, he has our support," he said while in Kiev. He questioned Russia's intentions: "According to Ukraine, the US believes Russia wants peace. But we see absolutely nothing that indicates that."
The prime minister described the frontline situation positively: "The good news is that they are holding the Russians at bay at the front," according to statements reported from the visit. The visit takes place on the anniversary of the war, which began four years ago.
No further details on the meetings or specific agreements are mentioned in available sources. Kristersson's visit underscores continued Nordic support for Ukraine in the conflict with Russia.
