Sweden’s foreign minister, Maria Malmer Stenergard, said that during the war Russia received €124 billion more from the European Union than Ukraine did. According to her, since the start of the full-scale invasion the EU has transferred €311 billion to Russia for imports of goods and energy, while its assistance to Ukraine amounted to €187 billion.

Stenergard stresses that Europe’s support for Kyiv is “far too small, while its support for Russia remains far too large.” “It is nothing short of a disgrace. No meaningful peace talks are possible unless we strengthen aid to Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia,” she says.
