Swedish Parliament approves military aid to Ukraine

Riksdag reported this, Ukrinform says.

As noted, the Swedish government can provide Ukraine with military equipment worth a maximum of SEK 6.2 billion (about $550 million).

The aid will include tanks, Archer and Robot 97 artillery systems, and ammunition. In addition, Sweden may decide to sell 14 Archer artillery systems to the United Kingdom. The latter has previously provided Ukraine with artillery systems of this type.

The proposal to provide the 11th package of military aid to Ukraine was included in additional amendments to the Swedish budget for 2023.

As Ukrinform reported, on February 8, the Swedish parliament approved the changes to the state budget. Thus, a record military aid of SEK 4.3 billion (about $406 million) will be provided to Ukraine.
