KYIV, July 17 – The Swedish Government has approved the strategy of cooperation between Sweden and Ukraine in the field of development and reforms for 2023-2027. It provides for the allocation of SEK 6 billion (about $584 million) and is the largest bilateral aid strategy for Sweden in its entire history, the press service of the Swedish government reports.

“I’m proud that the Government today is able to present a brand new strategy for Ukraine’s recovery, Sweden’s largest-ever bilateral strategy. Support to Ukraine is among our top priorities and this strategy is at the core of it. We’re taking a major step to provide robust and long-term support for Ukraine’s recovery. It will strengthen Ukraine’s resilience and democratic development, which will bolster the country’s capacity to resist Russia’s full-scale invasion,” says Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Johan Forssell.
