"Europeans are fed up with Ukrainians" - such loud statements are accompanied by messages and publications of russian propagandists that the Swedish authorities allegedly promised to pay Ukrainian citizens 30,000 euros each for voluntary return home.

Truth: This news is manipulative. Indeed, Sweden is discussing increasing the grant for the voluntary return of migrants to their homeland from 3,500 to 30,000 euros. The Swedish Minister of Migration and Asylum Jona Forsell made such a proposal. The innovation can start working from 2026.
The government expects that such an opportunity will be useful for migrants who rely on state social support due to unemployment or low income. However, it is not possible to receive this assistance if you are from Ukraine and are in Sweden on the basis of the Temporary Protection Directive, which is listed on the website of the Migration Service of the country. Therefore, the decision of the Swedish government will not affect the status of Ukrainians in the country.
On the contrary, Sweden recently simplified the procedure for obtaining a permanent residence permit and a personal number for citizens of Ukraine. Having a personal number makes it much easier for a person to interact with banks, government agencies, medical institutions and other social institutions. In addition, Ukrainians will receive expanded access to medical care, the right to participate in the state employment program and a number of other benefits.

Thus, statements that Sweden seeks to get rid of Ukrainian refugees at any cost are false. As of July 2024, there are more than 56,000 Ukrainian immigrants in Sweden.
