The Swedish PM made the decision to support Ukraine with the “€1.2 billion military aid package” after a conversation with Zelenskyy where the Ukrainian President told him “about the current battlefield situation and Ukraine’s priority defense needs”.
The Ukrainian President revealed, the “new package focuses on air defense, artillery ammunition, and armored vehicles, all of which are critical to our warriors.”
According to President Zelenskyy: “Yesterday, I spoke with @SwedishPM Ulf Kristersson about the current battlefield situation and Ukraine’s priority defense needs.
Today, I am glad to express my profound gratitude to Prime Minister Kristersson, his government, and all Swedes for Sweden’s largest military aid package announced thus far, totaling nearly €1.2 billion.
This new package focuses on air defense, artillery ammunition, and armored vehicles, all of which are critical to our warriors. It also includes ASC 890 radar surveillance and command aircraft, the entire Swedish fleet of PBV 302 armored vehicles, and additional artillery ammunition.
“These contributions are critical to Ukraine’s defense and resilience. It is also important that Swedish assistance not only saves Ukrainian lives, but it also helps to ensure long-term peace and security in Europe. Together, we will defend our shared values and ensure that the aggressor is held accountable.
“I am grateful to Sweden for standing with us and remaining a true and reliable ally.”
