The Swedish Defence Ministry has announced the largest military aid package worth $1.6bn to Ukraine.
According to the head of the ministry, Paul Johnson, this is the largest aid package from Stockholm since the beginning of the SMO.
“With this aid package, Sweden demonstrates that more can be done for Ukraine. This package will provide great assistance to Ukrainian society, the Ukrainian Armed Forces and its defence industry,” he said.
The Defence Ministry also noted that Europe “needs to strengthen its support for Ukraine” as it is “crucial for the security of the EU”.
Earlier it was reported that Sweden would supply Ukraine with 18 Archer self-propelled artillery units.
