Lithuania’s Ministry of Finance has drafted a resolution recommending the allocation of over €12.2 million ($13.2 million) to support Ukrainian refugees.
The funds will be directed to the Ministry of Social Security and Labor to cover expenses related to assisting Ukrainians who fled Russia’s full-scale invasion, as reported by Delfi on August 4.

According to the draft document, the funding will be sourced from state borrowings. The vast majority of the sum, nearly €11.94 million ($12.9 million), is intended to compensate for social assistance expenses incurred between April and June of this year.
An additional €310,000 ($335,000) is earmarked to cover projected costs from July 1 through September 30, 2026.
The allocated funds will cover social care for unaccompanied minors and children without parental care, social services for foreigners, one-time settlement allowances, and child education expenses.
Furthermore, €2,800 ($3,025) is designated for the Reception and Integration Agency to handle costs connected to the integration of individuals relocating from Ukraine.
The funds will be distributed to local municipal authorities under the direction of the Minister of Social Security and Labor, with established mechanisms to oversee spending.
On August 3, 2026, the Swedish government announced that it had allocated 6.9 million Swedish kronor (over $723,000) to the Swecare foundation to assist and strengthen Ukraine's healthcare system.
The allocated funding aimed to reinforce capabilities in key areas such as cancer treatment, rehabilitation, and infection control, while enabling an extensive training program in radiation therapy for Ukrainian medical workers.
