Sweden has prepared a new aid package for Ukraine worth 300 million dollars: what it will include.


Sweden has announced the purchase of self-propelled artillery systems Archer and counter-battery radar systems Arthur for Ukraine as part of the 18th military support package.
According to information from 'Hvylya' and 'European Truth', Sweden will buy 18 self-propelled howitzers Archer and 5 radar stations Arthur for Ukraine, as well as invest in the production of weapons in Ukraine, including the 'Bohdana' howitzer.
Furthermore, Sweden plans to join the 'artillery coalition' within the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine.
The total cost of this part of Sweden's military package is approximately 3 billion Swedish crowns (295 million dollars).
'Ukraine has an urgent need for artillery and artillery ammunition. This has been a priority for Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion. Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov emphasized this when I met with him over the weekend,' said Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson.
Earlier, Ukraine had already received 8 artillery systems Archer and 1 radar system Arthur from Great Britain.
The delivery of new Arthur systems is scheduled for 2025, while the Archer systems are scheduled for 2026.
It is worth noting that experts have assessed the prospects for achieving peace between Ukraine and Russia.
