On June 28, 2025, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order to denounce the agreement with Sweden concerning prompt notification of nuclear accidents and the exchange of information on nuclear installations. The corresponding document was published on the official legal information portal. The text of the order states: "To denounce the agreement between the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Government of Sweden on prompt notification of a nuclear accident and the exchange of information on nuclear installations, signed in Stockholm on January 13, 1988." The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was instructed to notify the Swedish side of the decision taken.

The agreement, which entered into force on April 3, 1988, was concluded within the framework of the implementation of the provisions of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Convention on Early Notification of Nuclear Accidents. The document obliged Russia and Sweden to inform each other as soon as possible about nuclear incidents that could lead to a transboundary release of radioactive substances capable of affecting the territory of the other country. In addition, the parties were required to report the detection of abnormally high levels of radiation on their territory that are not related to the activities of their own nuclear facilities, but pose a threat to radiation safety. The agreement also provided for an annual exchange of data on the operating modes of nuclear power plants and nuclear fuel storage facilities.

The decision to denounce the agreement was made against the backdrop of worsening relations between Russia and EU countries, including Sweden, which joined NATO in March 2024. This step may be associated with a general decline in the level of interaction in the field of civil nuclear safety and the loss of practical significance of information exchange in the context of curtailing cooperation. Experts note that the denunciation will not affect Russia's obligations to the IAEA, since the Convention on Early Notification of Nuclear Accidents remains in force, and the bilateral agreement with Sweden was of an additional nature.
