Sweden prepares $314 million military aid package for Ukraine

This was announced on August 15 by Defence Minister Paul Johnson, Reuters reports.

The package will cost 3.4 billion crowns ($313.5 million).

"We have to prepare ourselves for the fact this could be a long-lasting war and we also have a long-term perspective so that we can support those platforms that we are sending to Ukraine in a lasting manner," the minister said.

The new military aid package will be the 13th aid package that Sweden has provided to Ukraine since the beginning of the war.

• 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 mobile and land-based networks are not working.
