HUG (Help Ukraine Gothenburg) team met with Pål Jonson, Sweden’s Minister of Defence, to discuss Ukraine’s frontline realities and defence cooperation during Almedalen Week.
This year, HUG is joined at Almedalen by a delegation from Ukraine, including veterans, combat medics, and military professionals with firsthand experience of war, recovery, and reintegration. The discussion focused on modern warfare challenges, battlefield experience, and the rapid development of UAV technologies.
The exchange brought together policy and practice — combining Sweden’s defence perspective with direct operational insights from Ukrainian veterans and military professionals. It created a meaningful dialogue on how real-world experience can inform future cooperation and defence development.
