Sweden: EU can't fast-track Ukraine's membership application
EU leaders will not place Ukraine on a fast-track for EU membership after it formally applied earlier this month.
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said even though what's happening to Ukraine - as it battles the Russian military - is terrible, there are still rules and laws for membership of the EU that need to be followed.
EU leaders once again on Thursday condemned Russia's attack and pledged support for Ukraine.
