To Sweden:
First of all we do not care if Sweden is scared or not. We have something to back our words with, Sweden on the other hand lacks that ability. Your citizens are not in Gulags, they are in their homes in St. Petersburg under house arrest. Once the crisis is over they will be released, but for now they are the guarantee of the safetey of Russian personel and ships currently in Sweden.
As for your threats to cease recognition, they caused quite a laugh here at the ministry of foreign affairs. We do not care if you view Russia as a nation or not. You can stop diplomacy, but it will only hurt you. And when soldiers are burning Stockholm it will matter little weather your government recognizes the country they belong to as a nation or not.
In addition, we warn you not to put any threats against our ships to practice, as if you start seizing Russian ships it will be seen as an act of war, and this diplomatic war will turn into a real war, in which, for reasons already mentioned, Sweden has very few chances to win.
Most Sincerely,
Vecheslav Smirnov, Russian Foreign Minister
