Kristersson gives however no answer about Swedish ground forces to Ukraine.

It's not about, I think, moving very large troops from other countries to Ukraine, but it's about making sure Ukraine themselves can bear responsibility for their country in a way that is so credible that Russia does not try again, says the Prime Minister to the radio.

At Monday's summit in Washington between the US and Ukraine and several European leaders, security guarantees for Ukraine were discussed. However, it is still unclear what it would imply.

We want to be involved, but it must happen under forms that are safe and secure and where one knows what one gets into, says he.
