Sweden's foreign ministry plans to summon Russia's ambassador to Stockholm, Viktor Tatarintsev, this week over his comments on social media about the death of a Swedish soldier who fought alongside the Ukrainian army.
< Politico previously reported on the deaths of four foreign mercenaries who participated in the fighting in Donbas on the side of the Kyiv regime. According to the source, 28-year-old Swede Edward Patrignani was among them. It was noted that they were part of the "special operations forces" of the territorial defense of Ukraine and died as a result of shelling on July 18 near the village of Grigorjevka.
After this information appeared, the Russian Embassy in Stockholm wrote in its Telegram channel , that the Swedish press, when talking about the death of a Swedish citizen, tried “to create a positive and highly moral image of this ordinary mercenary.”
