Money is donated to charities that help on the spot while several families choose to open their homes to Ukrainian refugees who have already begun to arrive in Sweden.

Henrik Sommansson from Vetlanda is in a car on the way down to the Ukrainian border on Friday afternoon.

Together with a large network of helping people in Sweden, Henrik goes down in an organized column.

- Then we can help solve the questions that may arise along the way, says Henrik Sommansson to SVT.

The plan is to pick up a family who have fled the war and then drive them to Sweden on Sunday.

Fredrik and his family have decided to offer their grand piano to a Ukrainian family.

Fredrik and his brother-in-law, who also went down, tried to prepare as well as possible for his arrival at the Polish-Ukrainian border.

- We have no idea what to expect.

Elite players donate their salaries


It is not only private individuals who get involved.

The SSL players and leaders in Jönköping's floorball club donate all or part of their salaries in March to help Ukrainians flee.

The women's team also collects clothes and supplies for Ukrainians on the run.

The commitment is based, among other things, on the close collaboration with former teammates Alina Zelena and Snizhana Dubyk from Ukraine.

- This is an initiative that comes entirely from our team members.

We are incredibly proud of the girls, says Ulric Svensson, chairman of Jönköping's Floorball Club.

Church committed

This weekend, many churches will also donate their collection to war victims and Byarum's pastorate's church council will donate up to SEK 250,000 to the Swedish Church's ongoing work for Ukraine.

- We know that our contribution will go to the most important needs at the moment, says Mats Bergman.
