Russia Knows Swedish Mercs Fighting on Ukraine's Side - Moscow

Moscow is aware of the participation of mercenaries from Sweden in the hostilities on Ukraine's side, the Russian Foreign Ministry has told Sputnik.

Swedish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tumas Vanesk told RIA Novosti last week that the Ukrainian embassy in Stockholm can recruit Swedes to participate in hostilities because it is not illegal by international law.
When asked to comment on these statements, the Russian Foreign Ministry told Sputnik that "the Russian side is aware of the participation of foreign, including Swedish, mercenaries in the hostilities on the side of the Kiev neo-Nazi regime."
