The Swedish government allocates a new military aid package worth 7.1 billion Swedish kronor, or $682 million, for Ukraine's needs. It is the 15th aid package from Sweden.
What was included in the aid package from Sweden
Swedish media reports that the package consists of:
Fast landing ships of the CB90 class,
MANPADS RBS 70,
artillery ammo for two billion crowns,
anti-tank missiles 55 (TOW),
grenade launchers and hand grenades
medical transport.
Also, another approximately 1.5 billion Swedish crowns will be allocated to various funds, which will allow, in cooperation with other countries, Ukraine to purchase, for example, drones that it needs quickly.
