OR Sweden will send its 17th aid package to Ukraine with further military support worth 4.6 billion Swedish kroner ($443 million), the defense minister announced today Paul Johnson.
The new package will include ammunition for infantry fighting vehicles that Sweden has already donated, as well as purchases that would facilitate the transport of fighter jets Gripen in the future, although no such transfer has yet been decided.
“We want to have the ability to donate Gripen to Ukraine at a possible later stage,” Jonson said during a press conference.
Jonson said the support package includes additional warships, missiles and camouflage equipment, as well as funding to support defense procurement for Ukraine. The measures were decided in close cooperation with Kyiv.
“Currently, the transfer of JAS Gripens in Ukraine, as this will disrupt the import of F-16s,” the government said in a statement.
