Sweden presented a military aid package to Ukraine worth 13.5 billion Swedish kronor ($1.2 billion), the Nordic nation’s largest pledge to the war-torn country yet.
As part of the package, Ukraine will receive around 5.9 billion kronor in military equipment to be procured by Sweden on behalf of Ukraine; 2.8 billion kronor in financial aid; as well as military equipment ready for delivery worth around 3.3 billion kronor, the government said Thursday.
