- This is how Russia has waged war before.
Both in Syria and in Chechnya.
Now they are doing the same thing in Ukraine.
And responsibility must be demanded for this.
Ann Linde also says that it may very well turn out that what happened in Butja may very well have happened in other Ukrainian cities as well.
- There are several cities that are still under siege and where we do not know what it looks like.
"Need a fifth sanction package"
A number of countries, including Germany, have today expelled Russian diplomats in response to the abuses in Butja.
However, Sweden has not yet decided whether to do the same.
- We are also looking at that possibility.
But we also need to stay at our embassy in Moscow.
It is also important.
We try to support the voluntary organizations that can still work in the country and that have contacts with the opposition.
Ann Linde also answered the question of how she thinks the EU should respond to the Russian abuses.
- The EU must receive a fifth sanction package.
We should be even tougher when it comes to the energy sector.
We hope we can also get sanctions on oil and coal.
