President of EU Council visits Andersson
At a joint press conference with Sweden's prime minister in Stockholm, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, said he was hopeful of a decision on EU sanctions against Russian oil at the EU summit next week.
"It requires a lot of dialogue, a lot of effort and we are working very hard to stay united," he said.
Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said Sweden "supports the EU Council" and wants to "go further with sanctions against Russia".
