Online Meeting with the Consul of Ukraine in Sweden

On 14 November, HUG coordinated an online meeting with the Consul of Ukraine in Sweden. The initiative was launched after a recent meeting with the Ambassador of Ukraine in Sweden and the Ukrainian community in Gothenburg and in response to the many requests we receive from Ukrainians regarding consular questions.

For many members of our community, consular services are part of everyday life: passport procedures, notarial actions, questions about the electronic queue, waiting times, or the delivery of documents from Ukraine. All of these processes can be complex, and people often need clear explanations to navigate them.

That is why this online meeting was so valuable. It gave participants a chance to understand how the consulate works, what steps apply in their specific situation, and what to expect from different procedures. Meetings of this kind also help reduce repeated inquiries and ease the workload on the consulate.

During the session, the Consul explained how key procedures function in practice, addressed common issues related to passports and documentation, and answered participants’ questions based on their individual circumstances. Since many of the questions involved personal information, the meeting was not recorded.

To ensure that everyone could take part, we also hosted the meeting at our office with a live stream for those who were unable to join online.

We are deeply grateful that the Embassy responds to the needs of Ukrainians in Sweden and supports open, accessible dialogue with the community.

For us at HUG, it was important to contribute to this initiative, and we appreciate the trust and collaboration with the Embassy of Ukraine in Sweden. We are ready to support similar initiatives for our community in the future.
