Europe’s NATO member states should brace for a lasting rupture with Moscow, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has said, urging them to focus on supporting Kiev.<\/p>\n

The Western nations have introduced multiple rounds of sanctions in an effort to economically isolate Russia since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022.<\/p>\n

The measures have recently been followed by a wave of military buildup across Europe, with governments rearming in response to the alleged Russian threat.<\/p>\n

“I firmly believe Sweden, Estonia, and the EU must prepare for a long-term isolation of Russia,”<\/em> Kristersson said earlier this week after meeting with his Estonian counterpart Kristen Michal in Tallinn.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was “too large a part of the world to be isolated.”<\/em> He has also warned that sanctions are a “double-edged sword,”<\/em> arguing that every new package of restrictions creates negative consequences for the nations adopting them.<\/p>\n

Kristersson also praised Estonia for raising its military budget to more than 5% of GDP, adding that Stockholm is “heading there too.”<\/em> Earlier this year, the European NATO members agreed to increase armed forces spending to the same level in what officials described as a response to growing security challenges.<\/p>\n

“We are not naive about Russia or its intentions,”<\/em> he said, adding that Sweden is ready to support NATO’s eastern forces, strengthening deterrence and deploying air and missile capabilities.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Moscow has “no reason and no interest — geopolitical, economic, political or military — to fight NATO countries.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier, Peskov noted that Putin has warned for nearly two decades that the military bloc’s eastward expansion undermines Russian national security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
