Overview

• SVT reports that Viktor Gaziev says Sweden’s security service urged him to go to Ukraine in exchange for help with his ex-wife’s citizenship, a promise he says was not kept.
• Säpo publicly denies offering or pressuring anyone to travel anywhere, with operations chief Fredrik Hallström calling the allegation false.
• Gaziev claims Swedish military intelligence (Must) delivered him to the Poland–Ukraine border, and a Ukrainian soldier, Murad Zumzo, told SVT a Swede handed Gaziev over; Must declined to comment.
• Gaziev was labeled a national‑security threat in 2019 and a deportation order was not executed due to the risk of persecution, after which he was placed under strict supervision in Gävle before disappearing in 2023.
• SVT says it found Gaziev working in Ukraine as a drone expert, decorated and photographed with President Volodymyr Zelensky, and reports that other individuals assessed as security risks received similar offers.
