Sweden supports reforms in Ukraine

Sweden is interested in the further development of relations with Ukraine and intends to further support and monitor the ongoing reforms in the country, Ambassador of Sweden to Ukraine Martin Hagstrom has stated.

"Sweden has long-term interests in Ukraine and wants the reforms in Ukraine to be real to continue friendly bilateral relations... My task as an ambassador is to support reforms in Ukraine, this is the main task of the embassy... We try to politically support the reforms," the ambassador said during the presentation of the study of the Institute of World Politics "Foreign Policy Audit: Ukraine-Sweden" in Kyiv.

According to him, the annual financial aid for reforms in Ukraine from Sweden is $25-30 million.

The ambassador noted the plan is also to help create a fiscal system in Ukraine, which they trust.

"As for Russian aggression... Sweden's policy is based on the fact that the world should be governed by order based on international rules, this is important both for our security and for the security of Ukraine. And our point of view with Ukraine in this case is the same. We fully support the view of Ukraine in the UN Security Council and other organizations," the official said speaking about Russian aggression.
