“Like generations before us, we have a choice to make”
24 February marks one year since the start of Russia’s brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Continued assistance to Ukraine and continued pressure on Russia is centre stage during the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Listen to Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on Sweden’s and EU’s support for Ukraine.
Since the start of Russia’s brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the EU and its member states have made available around €67 billion in support for Ukraine and its people:
- €37.8 billion in economic assistance
- €17 billion in support for refugees
- €12 billion in military support
The EU stands firmly with Ukraine and its people, and will continue to strongly support Ukraine’s economy, society, armed forces and future reconstruction.
