Considering the Swedish model of a “neutral” state as an experience for Ukraine, it should be noted that Sweden belongs to the small group of countries that build their foreign policy on the values of human rights, democracy and international cooperation.International law and democratic values are key principles that determine Sweden’s interests in relations with other countries.
Sweden opposes isolationism and selfishness in international politics. According to the Swedish Foreign Ministry, Swedish foreign policy must remain active, fearless and constructive.At present, the main priority of the government’s foreign policy is to preserve a principled and cohesive European Union, Sweden’s “most important foreign policy arena.”
