The EU's 27 heads of state and government will meet for another extra summit in Brussels on Monday and Tuesday.
All the items on the agenda have in one way or another something to do with the war in Ukraine.
The most difficult thing will be to agree on the sixth sanction package against Russia, which the European Commission presented just over three weeks ago.
- We from the Swedish side will push for another sanction package, and want to go as far as possible, says Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson (S).
Compromise on oil
A new compromise proposal aims to stop both Russian crude oil and petroleum products, but deliveries via pipeline will be temporarily suspended.
This means that about a third of oil supplies to the EU will not be affected by the sanctions.
In addition, it will take time before they are actually in place.
- It will still be very much better than if you do nothing, says Magdalena Andersson.
The exception for oil delivered in pipes and not by boat is a concession for countries such as Hungary to agree to the sanctions.
But countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Croatia have also objected, due to their dependence on Russian oil.
Although a compromise is within reach, there are many loose ends.
For example, the question of how long the exemption should apply.
- We are not there yet, but it has matured.
My expectations are low that it will be resolved within the next 48 hours, but I have high hopes that it will happen thereafter, says European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on her way to the summit.
Hungary: Not good
According to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, there is definitely no solution in place yet.
- There is no compromise right now.
The proposal we have received is not good.
We are ready to give our support to package six if we get a solution in terms of energy security for deliveries to Hungary, says Orbán on his way to the summit.
