Meeting with the Ambassador of Ukraine to Sweden

Help Ukraine Gothenburg (HUG) had the great honor of meeting with the newly appointed Ambassador of Ukraine to Sweden, Svitlana Zalishchuk, at the Embassy of Ukraine in Sweden.

We had an inspiring conversation about the strength and unity of the Ukrainian community in Sweden, HUG's contribution to supporting both Ukraine and Ukrainians living here, as well as our future plans and needs.

The meeting focused on how NGOs and community-focused organizations can bridge the gap between people and authorities. Our work at HUG is built around people — we hear their concerns, understand the challenges they face, and see what type of help can make a real difference. This on-ground perspective is essential for identifying community needs and creating more effective programs and policies.

Ukraine fights not only for freedom, but for its very existence. This reality requires uniting the efforts of states, organizations, and individuals to strengthen our collective action and protect our shared future.

We are convinced that strong partnerships between government institutions and NGOs can bring meaningful impact for both sides. We are grateful for the Ambassador's attention and engagement, and we look forward to working closely together to strengthen the voice of Ukrainians in Sweden and continue contributing to Ukraine's resilience.
