Svenskt stöd till Ukrainas motståndskraft: Stöd från MSB i att koordinera och transportera materieldonationer från näringslivet

Webinar by Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency and Business Sweden

Since the full-scale invasion, Ukraine finds itself in a vulnerable situation that challenges the entire social system. Swedish companies can support Ukraine by donating resources that help Ukraine maintain its resilience. Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency ("MSB") can help the companies to implement such donations as long as they correspond to Ukraine's requested needs. MSB can support by coordinating and transporting the donations to recipients in Ukraine. In that case, the transport is procured and paid for by MSB.

Swedish donations have helped the authorities in Ukraine to carry out socially important activities since 2022. As time goes on and the war drags on, MSB has noted that offers of donations have decreased. The need for materiel and equipment to maintain resilience is still very high in Ukraine. At the same time, there is a large amount of equipment among Swedish companies and authorities that matches Ukraine's needs and could be spared for the benefit of Ukraine's resilience.

At the webinar, MSB presented its' role in the support to Ukraine and how MSB can help companies through the entire donation process. MSB has also described the priority needs expressed by Ukraine and what kind of support is requested.
