In Sweden, Ukrainian refugees face severe challenges integrating into society, with daily allowances from Migrationsverket capped at a meager 71 kronor.

This financial strain is accentuated by the lack of a Swedish personal number, hindering access to basic services and financial tools like Bank-ID and Swish.

The Swedish Red Cross has highlighted these issues, urging immediate action to improve living conditions and support integration efforts.

Stories from individuals like Yulia, a middle-aged single mother, and Denys Petrusenko, a 19-year-old student, underscore the hardships faced in meeting basic needs and aspiring for a stable future in Sweden.

The government is considering legislation to facilitate the acquisition of Swedish personal numbers for Ukrainian refugees, but urgent needs remain unaddressed.
