The visit of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde to Ukraine shows that Russia’s aggression against Ukraine remains among the priorities of Sweden’s chairmanship in the OSCE in 2021, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.
“I am pleased to welcome Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde to Kyiv. This is her first foreign visit as chairperson of the OSCE. A clear signal that the main threat to European security caused by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine remains among the priorities of Sweden’s OSCE chairmanship in 2021,” Kuleba wrote on his Twitter on Jan. 19.
At the same time, Linde said that she had already held detailed talks in Kyiv with OSCE Special Representative to the Trilateral Contact Group Heidi Grau, head of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine Yasar Halit Cevik, and the OSCE Program Coordinator in Ukraine Henrik Villadsen.
