The reason is concern that the incoming US President Donald Trump will reduce American military support.
For Sweden's and the Swedish people's security, it is crucial that we ensure concrete and recurring support to Ukraine, says Andersson.
Here, Ulf Kristersson needs to drive the issue so that the EU Commission has a clear and concrete action plan for how to act if the US now delays and postpones further support to Ukraine.
Andersson also wants Kristersson to push for EU leaders to coordinate their discussions with the US to convince Trump that it is in the US's interest to continue supporting Ukraine.
The EU leaders are meeting today and tomorrow at an informal summit in Budapest, where the consequences of Trump becoming the US's next president are expected to be discussed.
The host of the summit is Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He has received harsh criticism in the EU for being too Putin-friendly.
Andersson states that the EU has managed to handle Orbán since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
We need to continue to handle him, says Andersson.
She also states that the Social Democrats would "of course" support increasing Sweden's support to Ukraine beyond the framework of 75 billion kronor over three years, which the government has established, if needed.
