UKRAINE WAR
Swedish museums helping colleagues in Ukraine
Museums in Sweden are trying to help safeguard Ukraine's cultural heritage. The National Museum in Stockholm, for example, is assisting museums in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv.
Susanna Pettersson, director general at the National Museum, says the work is taking place in co-ordination with other museums in Sweden.
"Right after the war started we contacted our sister museums in Ukraine and asked what they needed on-site", Susanna Pettersson.
