October 2, 2017 (UNIAN) Commander-in-Chief
of the Swedish Armed Forces Gen. Micael Bydén on Monday paid a visit to the
zone of the Anti-Terrorist Operation in eastern Ukraine, accompanied by his
Ukrainian counterpart Gen. Viktor Muzhenko, according to the ATO HQ press center.
"During the official visit to Ukraine of
the military delegation of the Kingdom of Sweden and its trip to the ATO zone,
the parties discussed the issues of the intensification of the
military-political dialogue and clarified prospective directions and effective
forms of military cooperation between the armed forces of Ukraine and
Sweden," the press center wrote on Facebook. While familiarizing the
Swedish delegation with the security situation in the war zone, Muzhenko drew
the attention of his Swedish counterpart to the critical state of civilian
infrastructure affected by the attacks of Russian-terrorist forces.
The Chief of Ukraine’s General
Staff informed Gen. Bydén that the hikes in ceasefire violations by Russian
proxies traditionally coincide with the rounds of peace talks in Minsk, which
indicates Russia’s continued pressure on the negotiation process.
"The sides also exchanged
experience on the issues of reforming and developing the armed forces of both
states and strengthening friendly partner relations between Ukraine and
Sweden," the press center wrote.
