At a press conference following a digital meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Kristersson emphasized that Europe is at a pivotal moment, noting the profound implications of the Ukrainian conflict on regional security. He warned against a return to 'spheres of interest' reminiscent of the Yalta Conference, cautioning that such a scenario would undermine smaller nations. Urging for rapid national defense boosts, Kristersson called for a robust rearmament strategy to support Ukraine and cement peace in Europe, underscoring that any peace terms must prioritize Ukraine's input and sovereignty.
"How the war against Ukraine ends will affect and shape the security of the whole of Europe for generations to come."
"There is going to have to be a dramatic rearmament both to meet the needs of Ukraine and to meet Europe's needs after whatever peace agreement Ukraine ends up with."
