Ukraine and Russia in focus as Swedish PM visits Germany for talks

Sweden's Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said on Monday that Russia's President Putin had underestimated the unity shown between European countries.

"At the same time as Putin is pushing Russia into isolation, we are strengthening Europe, our common security and our international cooperation," Andersson said at a news conference in Berlin.

The Swedish Prime Minister had held bilateral talks with the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and said Germany is an important partner for Sweden.
