Sweden Announces $200 Million Military Aid Package To Ukraine

The government also formally tasked the armed forces with analyzing whether Sweden would be able to send Jas Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine.

Sweden will send Ukraine a new military support package worth 2.2 billion crowns ($199 million), consisting mainly of ammunition and spare parts to earlier donated systems, Defense Minister Pal Jonson said on October 6. The new military aid package will be Sweden's 14th to Ukraine since the start of the war, taking the total value of the Nordic country's aid to just over 22 billion crowns ($1.99 billion). Jonson told a news conference the government had also formally tasked the armed forces with analyzing whether Sweden would be able to send Jas Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine.
