Sweden is ready to contribute to providing security guarantees to Ukraine after clarifying all the details.

"As for security guarantees, I would say that although we have been discussing this for quite some time, we are still at an early stage of the process. Sweden is ready to contribute, but we will come back to exactly how, when the details are determined," she said at the meeting, which was broadcast on the YouTube channel of the Finnish Foreign Ministry.

The Minister stressed that the participation of the United States is important in this issue. According to her, Western politicians still have a lot to agree on in the "coalition of the willing."
