Sweden will provide Ukraine with a new military aid package worth 2.2 billion kronor (approximately $199 million), which will consist mainly of ammunition and spare parts for previously transferred systems, Reuters reports, citing a statement by Swedish Defense Minister Paul Johnson.
In addition, according to the minister, the Swedish government has instructed the armed forces to analyze whether Sweden will be able to transfer Jas Gripen fighters to Ukraine.
It is noted that the new aid package will be the 14th since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with the total amount of aid from Sweden amounting to more than 22 billion kronor (about $2 billion).
