The Swedish Government has decided to provide 50m Kronas ($4.86m) of military assistance to Ukraine, as well as 5m Kronas ($0.49m) each to Moldova and Georgia, TASS reports
It is reported that the support is provided through various NATO funds and will be used, among other things, for mine clearance, crisis management, cybersecurity and education.
It is noted that 50m Kronas will be allocated to the NATO fund for Ukraine for the projects that have already been decided on, but which lack funding: ‘for example, for the purchase of defence, fuel and medical equipment, as well as mine clearance devices’. 5m Kronas will be sent to the NATO fund to support Moldova. Another 5m Kronas will be allocated to Georgia for the projects in the field of cybersecurity, intelligence sharing, as well as in the field of secure communication channels and competence of engineering departments.
