Defense Minister Pål Jonson said in a press conference on Monday that Sweden has announced its largest Ukrainian military aid package, with the value of the Swedes ($1.6 billion) so far at nearly 16 billion Swedish kroner ($1.6 billion).
The 19th Assistant package brings Sweden’s full military support to Ukraine to about 29.5 billion Kronors this year. Since 2022, total aid has reached nearly $8 billion.
Jonson’s ministry stressed the importance of Europe increased support for Ukraine, noting that sustained and increased aid is crucial to European security.
Ukraine said it had major requirements for the battlefield, requiring support in areas such as air defense, artillery, satellite communications and the navy.
To meet these needs, Josen said the approximately 9 billion kronor of the new packaging will be used to purchase defense goods from Sweden and other European weapons manufacturers and then provide them to Ukraine.
