Kristersson, in turn, said that Eure should consider introducing a new package of sanctions against Russia over the death of Russian position leader Alexei Navalny. According to him, this will be the best way to honor the Russian position figure and a sign of support for Ukraine.

"We must mobilize so that Ukraine can resist Russia's brutal aggression. What we do today will affect the outcome of the war and our common security," Kristersson said.

He added that he and Tusk had also discussed strengthening the potential of arms production in Eure, including Pand and Sweden.

"We are ready to strengthen our bilateral coeration in the field of defense and security, also as a member of NATO. Like the other Baltic countries, we would like to strengthen security in the entire Baltic Sea region," Kristersson said.
