Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced today, Sunday, that the Swedish government will contribute over €8.7 million to Ukraine as part of the "Grain from Ukraine" initiative.

In a statement via social media network X, Kristersson said, "I am pleased to announce that Sweden will provide another 100 million Swedish Krona (€8.7 million) to the 'Grain from Ukraine' initiative through the World Food Programme.

Ukraine continues to contribute to global food security, despite the ongoing war waged by Russia."
