Sweden summoned the Russian ambassador in the country over his embassy’s comments on social media about a Swedish volunteer fighter in Ukraine who was recently killed in combat, local media reported Monday, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.
The Russian ambassador was informed that Sweden condemns the reprehensible comments on social media and Russia’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine, said the Aftonbladet daily, citing the Foreign Ministry’s press service.
The ministry refused to provide further remarks, the daily noted.
The daily said the Russian embassy, in a post on social media, wrote, among other things, that the Swedish soldier "got what he deserved.”
