Swedish Port Workers Refuse to Serve Russian Ships

“We are doing this to support the civilian population of Ukraine and our colleagues in the ports of the country,” said Erik Helgesson, vice chairman of the Swedish Port Workers’ Union.

Two weeks ago, the Swedish Port Workers' Union sent a letter to the country's infrastructure minister, Tomas Eneroth, urging him to stop Russian and Russian-bound ships from Swedish ports, otherwise they themselves would start a blockade. On Thursday, the threat was carried out.
