It’s a wrap. #OSCEMC2025 has concluded. We reiterated our support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Lasting peace and security require accountability. The world has changed since the signing of #HelsinkiFinalAct, but its principles remain valid.

The OSCE was established to keep war away from Europe.
Yet, Russia blatantly violates international law and OSCE principles.
The EU will stay the course.
Only more pressure on Russia and more support to Ukraine will change the balance.

Every 10 minutes a woman is killed. Women and girls’ full enjoyment of human rights need to be protected. Sweden stands up against gender-based violence in the OSCE region and beyond. We strongly condemn all kinds of reprisals, violence, threats and attacks against women and girls.

Russia’s illegal deportations of Ukrainian children violate international law, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and international humanitarian law.
Sweden is working to ensure that the children can return home and that those responsible are held accountable.

ODIHR deeply deplores Russia’s latest attacks on 🇺🇦#Ukraine, which have killed numerous civilians and injured many more, including children. Such actions constitute a clear violation of international humanitarian law & fundamental human values, and must stop immediately. #IHL

The latest UN Commission of Inquiry report concludes that Russia’s systematic drone attacks targeting civilians in Kherson may amount to crimes against humanity.
Supporting Ukraine and holding Russia accountable for its grave violations of international law remains a top priority for Sweden.

Thank you, dear Ulf Kristersson, for inviting me to the Nordic Leaders Meeting.
I see the Nordic countries as the Polaris of Europe.
You often show us the way forward.
As we take greater responsibility for our common defence, your experience will guide all of Europe.

We’ve entered an age of competitive geopolitics and geoeconomics.
The global order is fraying.
The Nordics stand right at the frontier of it.
As Europe takes more security into its own hands, the role of the Nordics is central.

Russia is intensifying its attacks on civilian infrastructure.
Putin aims to inflict maximum suffering on Ukrainians as winter approaches.
Europe is ready to support Ukraine further – new measures are in the works.
