"The Venezuelan people have now been freed from Maduro's dictatorship. But all states also have a responsibility to respect and act in accordance with international law," Kristersson said in a written statement to TT.
He said that Venezuela has been "one of the world's most hardline socialist dictatorships" under Maduro's rule.
"Sweden has long pointed out that Maduro lacks democratic legitimacy - not least after the 2024 election fraud."
The Prime Minister further said that the government is monitoring the situation in the country.
Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) said in a written statement to TT that "respecting the will of the Venezuelan people and reaching a negotiated, democratic and peaceful solution is the only way for Venezuela to restore democracy and resolve the ongoing crisis."
"Dictator Nicolás Maduro lacks democratic legitimacy. The Swedish government sheds no tears over his loss of power."
