As long as the Russian aggression continues, Sweden has a clear two-point plan: to strengthen Ukraine and to weaken Russia. Ukraine can count on Sweden’s support.

Congratulations to the Student List on its decisive victory and to the people of Serbia that turned out in record numbers to choose their future. This is an opportunity to strengthen democracy, the rule of law, and the fight against corruption. Sweden continues to support reforms that underpin Serbia’s EU accession.

One year after the RSF seized El Fasher, civilians in Darfur continue to suffer the consequences of horrific atrocities.

As Sudan’s civil war is in its fourth year, Sweden stands with the Sudanese people and remains committed to ensuring accountability for those responsible.

Congratulations @LulaOficial on your re-election as president of Brazil.

200 years of bilateral relations between Sweden and Brazil are a testament to our strong partnership.

Let us continue the work with our strategic partnership, built on a shared commitment to trade, innovation, defence, democracy and multilateralism.

Shocked and appalled by yesterday’s horrific attack on mourners at a church funeral in Karak, Jordan.

Targeting people in their moment of grief is abhorrent and can never be justified.

My deepest condolences to the victims and their loved ones. Sweden stands firmly with Jordan and the Jordanian people.

Important day for Hungary and Europe: 70 years have passed since the people of Hungary stood up against Soviet oppression and bravely fought for the freedom of their country. I am honoured to represent Sweden in Budapest on this historic occasion.

Wonderful to meet with my colleague @_OrbanAnita on the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian 1956 revolution. Much to discuss, as always.

Congratulations @DanNeculaescu on your appointment as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Romania. Our countries enjoy long-standing relations and I look forward to continued excellent cooperation to strengthen prosperity and security, including on the Eastern Flank.

The EU has presented its new Arctic Strategy.

As one of the Union’s three Arctic Member States, Sweden welcomes that the EU strengthens its role in the region and puts security at the forefront.

It is important that we pay more attention to the Arctic region’s increasing geopolitical weight, protection of critical infrastructure, and deepened cooperation with like-minded partners – in addition to issues such as climate, environment, and research. We also welcome that the strategy gives priority to matters regarding space policy, which is becoming essential to the EU’s security and autonomy.

The Arctic is our part of Europe. It is both a domestic and a foreign policy matter. We look forward to continuing the work with the Arctic Strategy both within the EU and with international partners.

Today I spoke with my British colleague, Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband
 
As strong partners of Ukraine, Sweden and the UK stand united on the need for more support for Ukraine and increased pressure on Russia. 

We also stressed the value of a strong EU-UK relationship for to: Frida Drake/UD

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.

Sweden and Singapore celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations! Today, we welcome Singapore's President Tharman Shanmugaratnam on a state visit to Sweden. Together, we draw attention to the countries' shared focus on green transition, security policy and innovation.

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.

För tre år sedan mördades två svenskar och en tredje skadades i ett fruktansvärt terrordåd i Bryssel. De hade rest dit för att stötta vårt herrlandslag i fotboll, men två av dem fick aldrig komma hem. På årsdagen av terrorattacken i Bryssel den 16 oktober 2023 hedrar vi offren och visar vår solidaritet med deras nära och kära. Terrorism har ingen plats i våra samhällen. Sverige och Belgien står enade i försvaret av våra demokratiska värderingar och arbetet mot terrorism. Jag vill tacka den belgiska regeringen för solidariteteten med Sverige.

Ukraine urged international businesses to leave Russia following the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Yet as of July 2026, many international companies continued operating in Russia. They included consumer goods giants such as PepsiCo, Mondelez International and Procter & Gamble, as well as major financial institutions like Austria’s Raiffeisen Bank International and Italy’s UniCredit.

Now, selling these assets has become increasingly difficult. Under a 2023 presidential decree, the Russian authorities can seize businesses owned by companies from countries deemed “unfriendly.”

This is yet another demonstration of how Russia disregards international law and the protection of private property. It should dispel any remaining doubts about the need to put frozen Russian assets to work — assets immobilised as a direct consequence of Russia’s aggression.

I want to personally thank the countries that are on board for this timely decision. My special thanks go to Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden @MariaStenergard for her leadership in mobilizing the efforts.

We had productive discussions on this during our Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg.

We urge all our partners to take this decisive step as soon as possible. Using frozen Russian assets would effectively double support for Ukraine without costing European taxpayers a single cent. It will help effectively protect Ukrainian lives and ensure fair compensation for the damage Russia has inflicted and continues to inflict.

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.

Great to welcome @UnderSecT DiNanno to Stockholm!

Sweden and the United States share strong and close ties. By turning our Technology Prosperity Deal into concrete actions we can deliver concrete results in space, defence innovation, and research and industrial security.

I also ontinued support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia.

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.

Regeringen har idag överlämnat en proposition till riksdagen med förslag på Sveriges bidrag till Natos avskräckning och försvar under 2027. Genom våra militära bidrag på marken, i luften och på sjön omsätter vi vår solidariska allianspolitik i handling och stärker vår egen och hela Natos säkerhet. @WeareNATO
