The Swedish king’s voice was shattered as he spoke of the horrors in Ukraine.
– Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine. What is currently happening in our neighborhood also has significant consequences for Sweden, King Charles XVI of Sweden spoke. Jarno Kuusinen
For the first time, King Charles XVI of Sweden commented on the situation in Ukraine during a visit to the Swedish Defense Forces in Karlsborg.
– Europe is now in a more difficult situation than it has been a long time since Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia’s actions are contrary to international law and the fundamental freedoms of the individual. There is a humanitarian catastrophe going on. People are fleeing their homes and their homeland, innocent people are dying. Sweden, along with other EU countries, strongly condemns Russia’s actions. Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine. What is currently happening in our neighborhood also has significant consequences for Sweden, he said in his speech.
The speech has provoked strong reactions from the public and has been hotly commented on on the Royal House Instagram page.
– Thank you to King Charles XVI of Sweden. I heard your voice break when you talked about the horrors in Ukraine. The war against Ukraine and the free world affects us all.
– You’re a great man, Charles Gustav.
– Long live the king! Long live Ukraine and all the other independent states that want nothing more than to live in peace and freedom.
