Sweden will give over $137 million to Ukraine for reconstruction, development, and humanitarian aid. The package, its largest civilian support to date, will fund infrastructure repair, mine clearance, and health worker training, with officials stressing both solidarity and Sweden’s security interest
Sweden will give more than 1.4 billion Swedish crowns ($137.7 million) to Ukraine to help with reconstruction and development, as well as urgent humanitarian needs, Sweden's Minister for International Development Benjamin Dousa said on Thursday.
The package, Sweden's largest ever civilian aid programme according to Dousa, includes support for the reconstruction of destroyed infrastructure, as well as mine clearance and health worker training.
"Support for Ukraine is a matter of solidarity, but also of Sweden's security," Dousa told a press conference.
"The last few weeks have not been easy. It has never been clearer that we can no longer take the world's support for Ukraine for granted," he added.
