Sweden will give $1.23 billion of military aid to Ukraine in the Scandinavian country's largest donation so far. It includes air defense, artillery ammunition and armored vehicles.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — The Swedish government said Wednesday that it will donate military aid to Ukraine worth 13 billion kronor in the largest help package Sweden has so far donated.
Sweden’s Defense Minister Pål Jonsson reiterated that the country has ruled out for now sending any Swedish-built JAS 39 Gripen jets to Ukraine, saying the focus on the Ukrainian side is on implementing the F-16 program. Jonsson said Sweden “is still working on possibly being able to contribute with the Gripen system later.”
“You can identify incoming cruise missile, you can identify drones and identify targets both on land and at sea,” he said.
