Sweden says it is expelling 5 Russian diplomats
It believes every third envoy works for one of Moscow’s intelligence agencies.
STOCKHOLM: Sweden today announced it was expelling five Russian diplomats for “activities not compatible” with their diplomatic status.
Sweden’s foreign minister Tobias Billstrom said “five officials at the Russian embassy in Sweden are being asked to leave the country” due to activities incompatible with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
The foreign ministry did not specify the nature of the activities, but the announcement came less than two weeks after neighbouring Norway expelled 15 diplomats it described as “intelligence officers”.
It also came as Nordic public broadcasters – Sweden’s SVT, Denmark’s DR, Norway’s NRK and Finland’s Yle – began releasing a jointly-produced investigative documentary series on Russian spying activities in the region.
Last week, SVT reported that Russia was using military and civilian ships in order to spy in Swedish waters – part of an espionage programme planning the sabotage of energy infrastructures in Northern Europe.
In April 2022, Sweden, along with several other European countries, expelled three Russian diplomats, with then foreign minister Ann Linde saying they had “conducted illegal intelligence operations in Sweden”.
The Swedish security service has previously said it believes every third Russian diplomat in the country works for one of Moscow’s intelligence agencies under diplomatic cover.
