About us

Who we are


Nordic Ukraine Forum is a non-profit, non-governmental organization registered in Sweden. We are a Ukraine-Nordics initiative launched to build bridges between Sweden, Nordics and Ukraine, as well as facilitate the spread of knowledge and insights. We help to spread the knowledge about Ukraine and the situation therein in Sweden, as well as share best practices of Sweden with Ukrainian civil society actors.


Our vision is a successful and prosperous Ukraine that is a member of the EU and NATO, with strong multi-faceted ties to the Nordics, and its culture, history and agency unquestionably recognized.


Our purpose is to:


  • Shape informed public debate by increasing knowledge of Ukraine, its culture, and current societal and political developments.
  • Run Ukrainian-Swedish /Nordic initiatives that strengthen democracy, security, human rights,culture, education, and sustainable development.
  • Partner with civil society organizations, academia, authorities, and private sector aligned with our goals to maximize impact.


Due to russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine, our current focus is on promoting political decisions that can help Ukraine win the war, and that will make russia pay for all the atrocities it has committed against Ukraine and Ukrainians.
