On Friday, March 25, 2022, Their Majesties King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden accompanied by Their Royal Highnesses Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden and Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia of Sweden participated in a meeting with various aid organizations working in Ukraine.

According to the Swedish royal court, the meeting was:

“…held on the King and Queen’s initiative. [The goal of the meeting] was to contribute through the exchange of experience and collaboration to Swedish aid efforts to Ukraine strengthen children’s security and protection. Representatives from 22 organizations spoke about their activities in Ukraine and its neighboring countries and what the needs look like on the ground. Particular emphasis was placed on the vulnerable situation of children – both in war-torn Ukraine, during the flight in or out of the country and on the ground in the countries of arrival.”
