Details: Ukraine’s Finance Minister Serhii Marchenko said during a meeting with members of the Swedish parliament that "the Swedish government’s support and solidarity from the very first days of the full-scale invasion have been incredibly important for Ukraine". "This is true of financial, military, and humanitarian aid," he added.

Marchenko also said he was "convinced that the future growth of our partnership will make Ukraine more financially resilient and support its macroeconomic stability, and that Sweden’s experience of European integration will help Ukraine on its path towards the EU".
