The Swedish Prime Minister pledged to provide additional military aid to Ukraine

Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said today that Sweden will provide Ukraine with military aid worth around 47 million euros to help it defend itself against a Russian invasion.

Anderson told reporters after her meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba that her government would offer Ukraine an additional package of economic aid — both military and political — of 94 million euros.

For his part, Kuleba called on Sweden to supply his country with weapons, such as howitzers and shells.

“As long as the war continues we will ask for more weapons,” Kuleba told reporters.

“Every euro, every bullet, every shell counts,” he said characteristically.

The Swedish prime minister did not detail the military aid package, but said it would be similar to previous aid, which included anti-tank weapons, protective gear and mine-clearing equipment.

“We will continue to support Ukraine as long as the war continues,” the prime minister stressed.

The political arm of the aid package will include the purchase of Ukrainian grain to be distributed to countries facing food shortages and help boost the Ukrainian economy.
