Ukrainian Unity Center opens in Stockholm with support from the Swedish government
In her remarks, Ilona Havronska noted that around 4.3 million Ukrainians are currently living under temporary protection across EU countries, including more than 45,000 in Sweden. In this context, she said, the establishment of Unity Centers is an important step toward maintaining ties with Ukrainian citizens abroad and providing them with reliable information to help them make informed decisions about their future.
"We are grateful to the Swedish Government for its unwavering support of Ukraine and our people. Today, tens of thousands of Ukrainians in Sweden are studying, working, and raising children, while remaining an integral part of Ukraine. The Unity Hub in Stockholm is designed to help them maintain this connection, access reliable information, support, and consultations for planning their future, including the possibility of returning to Ukraine," Ilona Havronska said.
At Unity Hub Stockholm, established with the support of the Swedish Government, Ukrainians will be able to receive information and consultations on:
In addition to providing practical assistance, the center will serve as a venue for cultural, educational, and community events aimed at strengthening social cohesion among Ukrainians and helping them maintain their connection with Ukraine.
"Sweden's support to Ukraine is not only about political, military and economic support. It's also about supporting the Ukrainian people in Sweden. The new Unity Hub will be an important meeting place for all Ukrainians who have found refuge in our country," said Johan Forssell, Sweden's Minister for Migration.
"The experience of Ukrainian displacement has demonstrated how essential it is to act in a swift and pragmatic manner, and to develop policy responses in line with the challenges at hand. It also shows that it is crucial to keep the people at the centre of all related efforts – their specific situations and individual needs, but also their potentials, aspirations, and hopes in rebuilding their lives and re-shaping their future," added Susan Raab, Director General of the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD).
Following the official opening, the Center will begin accepting applications from visitors wishing to use its services.
Unity Hub Stockholm will open to visitors on June 22, 2026. The center will operate in a pilot mode from Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and will receive visitors by appointment only.
Appointments can be requested via email at [email protected]. After receiving a request, the center's team will contact the applicant to arrange a meeting time and provide additional information.
