- We must send an extremely clear signal that the invasion of Ukraine is contrary to freedom, democracy and everything we stand for.
At present, there is no other alternative for us than to end the cooperation with our Russian twin town, says Anna Ragén (M), chairwoman of the City Council, in a press release.
Karlskoga municipality is one of several municipalities in the country that had twin towns in Russia but which due to the ongoing war in Ukraine chooses to interrupt it.
- We have seen that several Swedish municipalities are acting, and therefore called together all party representatives in Karlskoga and agreed to take a quick position, says the municipal board chairman Tony Ring (M) in the municipality's press release.
