Prime Minister of Sweden: Annexation of Crimea, aggression in Donbas threaten global security

"Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol and aggression in eastern Ukraine constitute serious breaches of international law, challenge global security and cause human suffering," Löfven said.

The European Union is clear on the need for the implementation of the Minsk agreements, the PM of Sweden stressed.

“Next year, Sweden will assume the role of Chair of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. Our main priority will be working for conflict resolution that builds on the OSCE comprehensive concept of security, with democracy and human rights at the core. The European security order must be upheld, not renegotiated,” Löfven emphasized.
