The Swedish government has announced a new civilian aid package to Ukraine totaling 1.145 billion Swedish kronor (approximately 103.65 million euros) until the end of 2025. The aid is aimed at addressing the country's most pressing recovery and development needs, as well as providing basic humanitarian assistance ahead of the winter season, according to a statement from the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"We must strengthen Ukraine's resilience by all means possible, especially in the face of Russia's escalating war. Ukraine's ongoing struggle for freedom is crucial to the security of all of Europe. At the same time, it is essential to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable citizens ahead of the fourth winter since Russia's full-scale invasion," the Swedish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The new package covers areas such as energy supply, housing, healthcare, demining, support for internally displaced persons and refugees, and independent media. Specifically:
-
450 million crowns have been allocated to meet energy needs, including electricity generation and repair of critical infrastructure;
-
385 million crowns for the restoration of housing and energy infrastructure, support for refugees and public services;
-
100 million crowns for demining, clearing rubble and restoring the economy of the affected areas;
-
50 million crowns for humanitarian food aid to residents of border areas;
-
30 million crowns to support independent media;
-
25 million crowns – for strengthening the judicial system;
-
10 million crowns for professional training in logistics and transport.
Assistance will be provided through international programs, including the World Bank, the UN World Food Programme and other United Nations agencies.
Sweden's total civilian aid to Ukraine in 2025 exceeds 9 billion Swedish kronor (approximately 815 million euros). In mid-September, Stockholm announced the transfer of the 20th military aid package.
