    We recognize the strong reactions in Sweden, which completely overshadowed this message.

    Their pandering to Putin got called out and to coverup they’re blaming people for reacting negatively. Its the “I’m sorry your feelings are hurt” non-apology

      Maybe. It’s weird because they want Russia represented due to human rights activists there could eligible for recognition, but these activists would almost certainly always be working against the government and therefore inviting ambassadors, who are government representatives, feels like a really odd decision.
