The Swedish government will provide Ukraine with military support worth 25 billion kronor ($2.3 billion) annually under a new three-year framework announced Wednesday.
The military aid in the 2024-2026 period could take the form of equipment donations as well as financial contributions and support for procurement of defense materials, the government said in a statement.
“Sweden will support Ukraine’s struggle for as long as it takes,” it said.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Sweden has provided Ukraine with training, tanks, combat vehicles, ammunition and other equipment worth some 30 billion kronor.
