Ukraine will receive new military assistance from Sweden
This was stated by Swedish Defense Minister Poul Jonsson.
The largest part of the package — 9.2 billion kronor — will go to military equipment, which Sweden will purchase under the leadership of the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration.
Johnson later clarified that the package included support for Ukraine's air defense, artillery, satellite communications, and naval capabilities.
Sweden previously announced that it plans to significantly increase its support for Ukraine. In particular, in 2025, it decided to allocate more money to support Ukraine — 40 billion kronor (almost $4 billion) instead of the previously planned 25 billion. These funds will go to help Ukraine in the war against Russian aggression.
