Sweden To Allocate 1.2 Billion Euros In Military Aid To Ukraine

The main emphasis of the new package is on strengthening air defense.

The Swedish government on Thursday, February 19, approved a 21st military aid package worth 12.9 billion kroner (€1.2 billion) to Ukraine.

The announcement was made by Swedish Defense Minister Paul Johnson, SVT.

The minister said the aid will focus on strengthening Ukraine's air defense.

Sweden will allocate about 400 million euros for the purchase and transfer of the Tridon Mk2 system. These are Swedish-made surface-to-air missile systems that are particularly effective in shooting down drones. In addition, the country will transfer sensors, robots and anti-aircraft guns.

An additional 524 million euros will be spent on Ukrainian production of long-range missiles and drones.

The rest - more than 280 million euros - will be used for grenade launchers from the Swedish army's stockpile, as well as for the purchase of artillery shells, spare parts and for the training of Ukrainian personnel.
