Additionally, SBA informed about practical steps that are already taken in order to help Ukraine:

1. Set up an administration of Swedish advocates who can provide free legal advice and other assistance on the ground in the event of a large-scale refugee wave from Ukraine to Sweden.

The contacts of lawyers are provided for database and are shared with UBA and UNBA.

2. Donated a significant sum to the Red Cross and to the UNHCR.

3. Initiate a fundraising campaign in order to encourage Swedish law firms and individual lawyers to donate money to the cause of Ukraine.

4. SBA activated a new webpage the Swedish Bar Association has activated in relation to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
