“We will take our responsibility, and Sweden stands ready to help Ukraine in every way we can, regardless of whether it involves humanitarian aid or in some other way. We are also prepared to help the countries to which most refugees are likely to turn. The crisis in Ukraine shows once again how important and urgent it is to conclude the negotiations on the Pact on Migration and Asylum, and for EU countries to jointly take responsibility,” said Mr Ygeman.
At the press conference, Mr Ribbenvik stated that his Agency was in direct contact with colleagues in the countries bordering Ukraine, and that as yet no major refugee flows towards Sweden had emerged.
