In October 1918 the government of the Ukrainian State "in order to establish permanent diplomatic relations between the Government of the Kingdom of Sweden and the Government of the Ukrainian State, as well as aiming to establish friendly connections and mutual understanding between our two great nations", sent a diplomatic mission to the Scandinavian countries headed by Borys Bazhenov. Borys Bazhenov resided at Grand Hôtel, which still functions on Södra Blasieholmshamnen 8. This address appears as the first location of the diplomatic mission. Later the mission was located in the hotel on Drottninggatan 42–44.[2]
In January 1919 the Directory decided to appoint Kostyantyn Losskyi as the head of the mission. Since his arrival in Stockholm in late February - early March the mission relocated to Drottninggatan, 83 and the head of the mission lived in an apartment on Karlbergsvägen 43b. Starting from 1 October 1919 to February 1920, this address was shared with the office of the mission.
On 19 December 1991 Sweden recognized the independence of Ukraine, and on 13 January 1992 an agreement on establishing diplomatic relations was concluded. Kostyantyn Masyk was appointed as ambassador to Sweden on 16 October 1992. The embassy opened on Markvardsgatan 5 on 31 May 1994.
