Sweden has announced that it will provide Ukraine with $200 million in direct budget support in 2026 to help meet the daily needs of citizens in the midst of the war, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said.
“This funding will meet the daily needs of people in the midst of war, including critical public services, energy supplies, healthcare, schools, pensions, and other payments. We are deeply grateful to Sweden for its determination, support, and unwavering solidarity,” Sibiga said in a post on social media on Saturday.
According to him, Sweden has shown leadership from the very beginning: in August, it became the first country to provide Ukraine with $75 million in direct budget support, and now it is reinforcing that leadership with an additional contribution.
