MOSCOW, Mar 29 Ambassador Viktor Tatarintsev after the publication of an article on the kingdom's accession to NATO, France-Presse reports.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will summon the Russian ambassador to clearly condemn this transparent attempt to influence,” the agency quotes the words from a statement by the head of the department, Tobias Billström.
On Tuesday, the website of the Russian Embassy in Stockholm in the «Ambassador's Articles» section published an article about the Kingdom's accession to NATO under the heading «Swedish step into the abyss.» In particular, it says that Sweden's involvement in the North Atlantic Alliance began long before the special military operation in Ukraine.
The article also emphasizes that after the accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO, the total length of the Russian-NATO borders will almost double. «If it still seems to someone that this will somehow improve the security of Europe, rest assured that the new members of the hostile bloc will become a legitimate target for retaliatory measures from Russia, including military ones,» the text said.< br>
