Defence Minister Pål Jonson (The Moderate Party) expects that today's discussions in Copenhagen will mostly be about increased arms deliveries and support for production in Ukraine.
When it comes to potential future security guarantees for the country, he simultaneously does not rule out that Swedish soldiers could also participate.
However, it is still far from that.
–It would be about after a peace agreement or a ceasefire that could create the conditions for it. If it is to be an armed force, the Riksdag must of course participate in the decision-making process, but I do not rule out in any way that it may become relevant, says Jonson on his way into the meeting.
Like several of his colleagues, he is deeply critical of Russia's continued actions.
–We see no serious intention from the Russian side to reach any kind of peace agreement, says Jonson.
The hardest words come as usual from Lithuania, whose Defence Minister Dovile Sakaliene does not mince her words about the reception of President Vladimir Putin in Alaska recently.
–To see a damned murderer on the red carpet is not a pleasant sight for any of us, says Sakaliene in Copenhagen.
