Sweden said on Wednesday that it will donate military aid to Ukraine worth 13 billion krona (USD 1.23 billion) in the largest help package Sweden has so far donated.


“It consists of equipment that is at the top of Ukraine’s priority list”, Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch said. It included air defense, artillery ammunition and armoured vehicles.


Sweden’s Defence 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 programme.
