Now before the three-year anniversary of the Russian attack war, the government has decided to donate air defense systems worth SEK 1.2 billion to Ukraine, writes Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M), Energy and Business Minister Ebba Busch (KD) and Minister of Education Johan Pehrson (L) in a debate article I Svenska Dagbladet.
