The government will today present a package of measures to compensate Swedish households for the economic consequences of the war in Ukraine.

SVT Nyheter experiences that this is a temporary reduction in fuel tax, a new fuel compensation - that is, direct support to everyone who has a car.

The government will also present an increased housing allowance for families with children and a new travel deduction system.

The package also contains additional measures to mitigate the effects of electricity prices.
