STOCKHOLM: Sweden will work for the European Union to extend sanctions to more individuals connected to the Russian leadership in the wake of the country’s invasion of Ukraine, a cabinet minister said today.

Swedish EU Minister Hans Dahlgren also told a news conference that the government would work for any so called “golden passport” schemes that allow wealthy Russians to get citizenship of countries within the bloc to be scrapped. - Reuters
