Sweden provides €100 million winter aid, Germany allocates €11.5 billion for military support, and Italy prepares a new package of military equipment and supplies for Ukraine.
Kyiv will receive a new financial aid package from Sweden aimed at meeting the population’s needs during the cold season. The winter support is intended to strengthen Ukraine’s resilience.
What aid package will Ukraine receive?
The new aid package from Sweden will total over 1.1 billion Swedish kronor (approximately 100 million euros), reports 24 Kanal citing European Pravda.
The funds will be directed to the most urgent needs of Ukrainians this heating season, as well as to strengthening infrastructure for future winters.
“The government presents a new support package focused on the most pressing needs this winter, along with assistance that enhances Ukraine’s long-term resilience. Sweden continues to do everything possible to support Ukraine,” emphasized Benjamin Dousa, Minister for Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade.
Specifically, the financial aid will be spent on:
- Ensuring energy supply;
- Repairing and restoring infrastructure damaged during attacks;
- Implementing reforms;
- And the healthcare sector.
Sweden’s Minister for Energy and Economy, Ebba Busch, stressed that Ukraine’s energy supply is a crucial part of its overall defense and therefore requires support.
“Together with our international partners, we are now increasing support for Ukraine’s energy supply. This not only strengthens Ukraine’s resilience but also the defense of all Europe,” Busch noted.
