Sweden to provide EUR 2.5 mln in humanitarian aid to Ukraine
The Swedish government decided on Tuesday to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine worth SEK 230 million (EUR 2.5 million).
"Today, the Government presented a new humanitarian support package to Ukraine worth SEK 230 million for 2026. This support will be distributed among the UN World Food Programme (WFP), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Save the Children. The package will address urgent needs for heating, water, shelter and food in Ukraine," Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Benjamin Dousa said.
He said that this humanitarian support package will be distributed among five partner organisations that are reaching areas near the front line and regions where needs are greatest.
The minister said that Sweden’s humanitarian support is crucial at this acute stage and also supplements its extensive support to Ukraine’s energy sector. The humanitarian support package will be financed within the framework of the development assistance budget.
