Sweden will provide Ukraine with SEK 60 million, equivalent to approximately \u20ac5.4 million, to support its transport infrastructure. The funds will be allocated to the Ukraine Transport Support Fund (UTSF), the Ministry for Restoration, Infrastructure and Transport announced.<\/p>\n
According to the ministry, the financial assistance is part of the Swedish government\u2019s winter support package. Following the new contribution, the total announced funding for the fund will reach approximately \u20ac10 million.<\/p>\n
The funding will make it possible to test the new financing mechanism and launch the first projects. According to Restoration Minister Mykola Kalashnyk, Sweden was among the initiators of the fund\u2019s creation and is now increasing its support.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis creates more opportunities for the first projects,\u201d the minister stressed. These projects will be used to assess how quickly and efficiently the new assistance mechanism operates.<\/p>\n
The UTSF was established in March 2026 at the initiative of Ukraine, Lithuania, Sweden and Canada. Its main objective is to attract international funding for Ukraine\u2019s most urgent transport sector needs.<\/p>\n
In particular, the fund\u2019s resources are intended to support the restoration of damaged roads and bridges, the purchase of specialised equipment, and the development of alternative logistics routes and transport connections with the European Union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":152345,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-152344","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/152344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=152344"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=152344"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=152344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
