The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office issues travel advice: here is their page for Ukraine.
I'd be surprised if the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs didn't do something similar, too.

Looking at the US Department of State travel advisories and the Canadian equivalent should give you a pretty good assessment of the situation for a typical business trip.

I spent the weekend in Kiev a few weeks ago and it was nothing like what I expected.
Had it not been for the BBC coverage of the events with Russia I would not have had a clue that this was a country essentially at war.
My only advice would be around currency. I could not for the life of me get currency at home (UK) and had to do it when I landed in Kiev. I would however also take a small amount in a stronger currency as well (GBP, USD or EURO) as these are generally accepted and sometimes preferred. If like me you land too late to exchange currency you can either pay with a stronger one or with draw from a cash machine.
As I said in and around Kiev you should be perfectly safe. It wouldn't hurt to keep the embassy details in your phone just in case. In terms of how much money to take, Ukraine is very cheap and I wouldn't take that much money. My hotel cost me £56 for 4 days and it was fine.
