Russian Embassy in Stockholm reacted to the words of a Swedish expert that Ukraine should use the tactics of King Charles XII of Sweden against Russia. The embassy stressed that the Swedish army won the battle, but lost the war.

Earlier, Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström said that the supply of F-16 fighters to the Armed Forces of Ukraine would lead to an escalation of the Ukrainian conflict. The Russian Embassy said the author missed two subsequent events of the same period: in 1704, the Russian army took Narva, and already in 1709, the troops of Charles XII suffered a crushing defeat.
