Magdalena Andersson describes the night's extraordinary summit as very fateful.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was present via a link from what the Prime Minister describes as a basement in Kiev.

- When we said hello then we all knew that it is not obvious that we will ever see each other again.

The result of the meeting will be to increase the sanctions that the EU has imposed on Russia.

- Today we agreed to impose further very strong sanctions and that is something we have been able to give the green light for tonight, says Magdalena Andersson (S).
