Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the steps Moscow will take after Sweden’s accession to NATO will depend on Stockholm’s specific actions in the alliance. His words lead the way RIA News.
“We will closely watch what Sweden will do and how it will implement its membership in practice,” Zakharova said.
The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that, based on Stockholm’s actions, Moscow will plan a response policy that includes steps of a military-technical or other nature to stop threats.
Formerly Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson suggestedRussia “won’t like” Stockholm joining NATO.
“The only thing we can safely expect from Russia’s perspective is that they will not like Sweden being a member of NATO. Kristersson also did not like Finland becoming a member of NATO.
From his perspective, “Russia’s ambition to limit NATO expansion has backfired.”
Previously It has been learned that Sweden’s NATO accession ceremony has been postponed.
