This is stated on the website of the Swedish Parliament.

Sweden will provide Ukraine with spare parts for previously supplied systems, ammunition, demining equipment, and vehicles.

Parliament also decided to give the government the opportunity to sell a limited number of Rb 99 air-to-air missiles (AMRAAM) to the US. The US has launched a program to buy back older versions of AMRAAM missiles to donate them to Ukraine and strengthen its air defense capabilities.

This is the 13th aid package that Sweden has provided to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion.

 
  • In early August, the Swedish company Satcube began supplying Ukraine with its own satellite Internet terminals that can be used in the de-occupied territories where cell and land-based networks do not work.
