Sweden plans to cut aid to five countries, funds will be sent to Ukraine

Sweden will phase out development aid to five countries over the next few years and use these funds to increase support for Ukraine, the government said on Friday.

The Nordic country plans to stop aid to Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Mozambique, Liberia and Bolivia, said Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, Benjamin Dousa.

"Ukraine is Sweden's most important foreign and aid policy priority, and the government will therefore increase aid to Ukraine to at least 10 billion kronor ($1.06 billion) in 2026," Dousa said.
