Sweden will donate 16 billion kronor ($1.6 billion, $1.24 billion, €1.48 billion) in new military aid to Ukraine, the government said on Monday, the largest such package from the Nordic country since Russia's invasion in 2022.
Swedish Defense Minister Pál Jonsson told reporters that Sweden wanted to "send the message now that we are both intensifying our support and increasing its strength and reach."
"There are strong reasons to do this in light of the seriousness of the situation in Ukraine," Johnson added.
The bulk of the aid package, 9 billion kronor, would go towards purchasing new materials produced, "mainly from the Swedish, but also European, defense industrial base."
The materials would be selected based on "Ukrainian needs," the government said.
The latest package is the 19th tranche of military aid that Sweden has provided to Ukraine, with the total estimated at 80 billion kronor, according to the government.
