"... the increased pressure Russia finds itself under (and has to act out against)."
Sounds a bit biased to my Swedish ears.

"has to" might be a bit of an overstatement, but I don't find it the least bit surprising that is provokes some sort of a response.
How is that biased?
Russia is getting tonnes of flak for basically doing some hacking. They're just a useful distraction from the massive civil rights violations by the US government now people are starting to become less amenable to the "AGAINST TERRORISM!!!" theme.
Sweden was at the time threatened with being delisted from a US preferential trade list if it did not comply.
As a result of bowing down to the US, Sweden is now complicit in the crimes of the US. The global spying, the drone killings it leads to, the increased pressure Russia finds itself under (and has to act out against).
