This Radio Sweden Weekly podcast analyzes the international political fallout from US-Russia talks on Ukraine, excluding Ukraine and the EU. The podcast features interviews with Swedish citizens expressing worry and concern, Ukrainian refugees in Sweden feeling betrayed, Swedish government officials emphasizing a calm response ("ice in the stomach"), and experts discussing the EU's capacity for independent action and the implications for Swedish defense. A segment also covers the investigation into an oil spill from a ferry accident off the coast of Blekinge, highlighting multiple errors and criticizing the initial response. The podcast concludes with a preview of next week's episode focusing on Ukrainian refugees across Europe.
