Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced on Thursday his country would provide Ukraine with 50 CV90 combat vehicles and 12 Archer Artillery Systems to boost the country's defenses against Russia's invasion.
"When the war is at stake, military support is absolutely crucial. The West's support has been of great importance to Ukraine's defense capabilities," Kristersson told reporters at a press conference. Anti-tank weapons and combat robots will also be included in Sweden's latest aid package, the prime minister added.
Meanwhile, Kiev renewed a call to European allies earlier today to provide its troops with German Leopard tanks. However, Berlin was rumored to not yet allowing the export due to the move potentially leading to a direct confrontation with Moscow.
