Sweden to send more anti-tank weapons to Ukraine
Sweden plans to deliver more arms to Ukraine, including anti-tank weapons, as well as mine-clearing equipment, says its defence ministry in Stockholm.
This was announced on Thursday.
In total, the support package was worth about 500 million Swedish kronor ($48.7 million).
Sweden, which like its neighbour Finland applied for NATO membership in mid-May, had supplied Ukraine with various military equipment and goods on four previous occasions.
This included thousands of anti-tank handguns, personal protective equipment, food, mine-clearing equipment, firearms and a naval target robot.
The Swedes had also provided financial support to Ukraine.
