Sweden will continue making a significant contribution to military aid deliveries to Ukraine.
This was stated by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, according to his post on the social media platform X.
"I welcome President Trump’s important decision to make it possible to deliver more advanced weapons to Ukraine and to significantly increase the economic pressure on Russia. As one of the biggest donors to Ukraine, and together with our NATO allies, Sweden will continue to contribute to swift and substantial deliveries to Ukraine," stated Kristersson.
"Time is of essence. The sooner we all unite in forcing Russia to end its brutal war against Ukraine, the more lives will be saved," the PM concluded.
Patriot deliveries to Ukraine
US President Donald Trump recently confirmed plans to send 17 Patriot systems to Ukraine, promising that the deliveries would begin within days.
Additionally, the US and NATO reached an agreement under which American weapons will be delivered to Ukraine with funding from European nations.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Trump for the air defense support, stressing the importance of doing everything possible to stop Russia’s campaign of violence.
Meanwhile, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Germany also plans to provide Ukraine with two additional Patriot systems.
