Dockworkers' unions call EU sanctions ineffective against Russian ships
Unions representing Sweden's dockworkers say exemptions to EU sanctions against Russia make them relatively toothless for shipping traffic.
One union has already refused to load or unload Russian owned or flagged vessels and another is considering its own blockade starting May 1.
Since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the EU has slapped it with five different sets of sanctions.
