Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson said this at the doorstep of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg, reports an Ukrinform correspondent.
“We have the biggest support package (for Ukraine – ed.) adopted by the Swedish Parliament last month that included more than EUR 650 million and focused on air defense systems and artillery shells, so they are being delivered as we speak. We have to step up, this is absolutely crucial (…) We need to support the Ukrainians here and now,” said the head of the Swedish Defense Ministry.
According to him, Sweden has already donated to Ukraine a significant amount of air defense equipment, including HAWK, RBS 70, and other systems, which should reduce the load on other air defense systems, including the Patriots.
