Sweden has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine. Among other things, it will include combat boats. This was stated by Swedish Defense Minister Paul Jonson, Folkbladet reports.

"By supporting Ukraine, we are also investing in our own security. If Russia had won this terrible war, we would have had much bigger security problems than we have today," he said.

According to him, the 15th aid package is seen as an important signal to Ukraine on the eve of the anniversary of the war that Swedish support will continue, as well as a signal to Russia that Sweden will not let the war-torn country down.

The new military aid package consists of 10 combat boats and 20 group boats, as well as underwater weapons such as mines and torpedoes, worth SEK 1.1 billion.

The package also includes artillery ammunition compatible with the Archer system, which Sweden had previously sent. In addition, Robot 70 is an air defense system that is already in service in Ukraine.

It also includes anti-tank missiles, Carl Gustaf grenade launchers, and soldier equipment such as hand grenades, medical equipment, and medical vehicles.
