Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyj writes on X that he is grateful to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, the Swedish government and the Swedish people for the support package presented by the government and the Swedish Democrats on Thursday.
The support, worth SEK 13.5 billion, is the largest to date.
“We really appreciate that this military support meets the urgent needs of the Ukrainian army and in a significant way contributes to strengthening our defense capabilities,” Zelenskyj writes.
In the past, Sweden has mainly donated military equipment from the Armed Forces’ warehouse. Now the Swedish defense industry will produce military equipment, which will then be delivered directly to Ukraine.
