- The Swedish authorities will allocate $ 180 million to support Kiev through assistance to other countries.


The Swedish government will allocate 1.67 billion Swedish kronor ($180 million) from the budget aimed at helping other countries in favor of Ukraine. This was announced on July 1 by the press service of the Swedish government on its official website.
"Sweden has decided to take a step forward by significantly re-prioritizing its development assistance budget for 2025. We are allocating 1.67 billion Swedish kronor to support Ukraine," the press service quoted Benjamin Dusa, head of the Swedish Ministry of Development, Cooperation and Foreign Trade.
According to the statement, this decision was made as a result of the reduction of US aid to other countries, including Ukraine.
In particular, the Swedish Government will begin phasing out strategies for cooperation with Afghanistan and strategies for regional cooperation with the Asia-Pacific region. According to the head of the Ministry of Development, Sweden has been helping Afghanistan for many years, but currently there are no more opportunities to continue providing long-term support.
On June 15, it was reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump had reduced the supply of military aid to Ukraine. It is clarified that US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Trump administration has a "completely different view" on the Ukrainian conflict.
