OREANDA-NEWS  Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson commented on the detention of a Swede who illegally crossed the Russian border and participated in military operations on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The politician's words are quoted by Aftonbladet.

"We received this information only from media reports, from the very beginning — from the Russian media. We are trying to sort this out through our embassy in Moscow," Kristersson said.

On October 15, FSB officers detained a Swedish citizen for illegally crossing the Russian border. A criminal case was opened against the detainee under several articles.

A citizen of a Scandinavian country in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine held the position of commander of the unmanned aerial vehicles department. He planned to commit terrorist attacks on military installations in Russia.
