After 4 yrs, with my gang: last day in #Ukraine before ending my term. Ukrainians show the world what courage & humanity is and set a higher standard for us all. We Europeans can never repay the debt we owe this nation of giants. We can only strive to honour their example.

Magnificent

Air alert just over, me coming out of the shelter. #SleeplessMay sucks, but watching how #Ukrainians handle a month of relentless Russian terror bombing just strengthens my conviction that #Ukraine will triumph.

The girl ran with her mother to a shelter in Kyiv. It was at night, a few minutes after the beginning of the air alarm in the capital.

On June 1, the world celebrates Children's Day.

Was glad to host Ministers Pål Jonson Carl-Oskar Bohlin in Kyiv.
I want to thank the people, government, and parliament of Sweden for the military assistance provided to Ukraine and for their contribution to the tank coalition.
Swedish Gripens would play a critical role in strengthening…

Working on Ukrainian victory: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський and Defence Minister Pål Jonson discussed Gripen, CV-90, Air Defence & Artillery in #Kyiv today. Boom! ✋🎤⬇️

Voltaire sure did. And he wrote those lines in his famous biography of Swedish King Charles XII. Charles really understood #Ukraine , unlike president #Putin . Check out this letter that Charles sent his ambassador to the Ukrainian Cossack state 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

On today’s Day Against Homo-, Bi- & Transphobia we honour all Ukrainian LGBT+ soldiers fighting the invader, their loved ones, and all LGBT+ persons in Ukraine. They deserve the same rights as their straight countrypeople, incl. legal recognition of same sex partnerships. 🏳️‍🌈🦄

Ukraine has knocked down 7 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, 6 of them in one night. The pride&joy of #Russia ’s military industry, not looking so great all of a sudden…

. Mira of Kyiv 🇺🇦 you are the queen of Twitter! 😂

I was honoured to meet with His Majesty The King and Her Royal Highness The Crown Princess of Sweden. I expressed my gratitude for their support and solidarity with Ukraine and its people during these trying times.

One of my beloved spots in #Ukraine : legendary Zaporizhia hydro-power plant, above the mighty #Dnipro river. Bombed in 1941 by the retreating Soviet colonisers. Bombed again in ‘43 by the Nazi aggressors as they fled. Those 2 evil empires died. Ukraine lives.

When she was 5, the nazis bombed Raïsa’s house. In March, #Russia bombed Raïsa’s house, here in Zaporizhzhia. Her words: “The rescue workers are angels. They saved me.” She knows #Ukraine will win. And she likes Finns, “because they know how to beat the Russians.” Invincible Land

This used to be a school. Olena’s daughter Nikolina studied there. This is what #Russia does. #warcrime

The safest thing to be during a Russian missile barrage is a military target.

Solidarity: the 8 Nordic & Baltic foreign ministers shoulder to shoulder with Ukrainian colleague Dmytro Kuleba in Odesa. Talks on military support, European integration & grain exports.

With members of the explosives clearance team at Ukrainian Police. They’re first to go into liberated areas & clear booby traps, explosives, mines. These men & women risk everything to bring liberated towns & villages back to life. Heroes. Proud that #Sweden supports. MSB - Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap
