Sweden will provide Ukraine for an army aid package more than $ 1. 2 billion, announced Swedish Defense Minister Jonson on January 30.
This is the Giantst Army Assistance Organization in Sweden since the Giant Russia Invasion began in 2022, according to Johnson.
The package includes 16 CB90 combat boats with weapons stations, a million rounds of 12.7 mm ammunition, 146 trucks, 1,500 TOW anti-tank missiles, as well as 200 AT4 anti-tank launchers.
Around $ 90 million will be for the production of long -range missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, said Johnson.
Donations of shares of the Swedish Armed Forces will constitute approximately 25% of the package, while around 45% will be used to invest in defense production.
“This can be directed to precedence, such as artillery, long -range strike functions and drones. A short -term delivery time is important,” said the minister.
From the new package, $178 million will be allocated to the so-called Danish style of financing for Ukraine’s defense production.
Another budget will also be assigned to the education of Ukrainian infantry soldiers in 2025, as well as the solution and the apparatus already donated through Sweden.
Lithuania will plan to deploy the infantry in Ukraine for a possible mission of maintenance of peace, said on January 30, commander of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, according to LRT.
“If you ask if Lithuania can simply (send patifications to Ukraine), yes, we will probably do it. There will be an argument, and I think we deserve to assume the duty of European stability,” Vaiksnoras said in Ziniu Radio.
His comments come amid existing discussions among Western countries over the imaginable deployment of peacekeeping forces in Ukraine if a ceasefire is agreed with Russia.
Earlier reports from The Wall Street Journal indicated that U.S. President Donald Trump’s team is weighing a plan to delay Ukraine’s NATO membership by at least 20 years in exchange for continued Western arms supplies and the deployment of European peacekeepers to monitor a ceasefire.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Jan. 18 that Germany may consider contributing forces to such a mission, while U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed on Jan. 16 that he had discussed the matter with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Moscow strongly the idea.
Russia has depleted much of its stockpile from the Soviet-era commercial army, with one remaining aircraft in poor condition, the source reported Jan. 28.
The Russian army has lost more from its team to have, and unless an unforeseen replace .
The source said Russian and Ukrainian forces are most commonly wasting Soviet-era apparatus, with Russian losses now accounting for about 50% of their overall stockpile. Large apparatus left in the garage is in poor technical condition, making it unlikely to be repaired and repaired deployed on the front lines.
The number of cars in a position for combat that Russia can still send to the front lines is estimated at around 2,000 tanks, 2,000 infantry fighting cars (BMPs) and 3,000 armored personnel carriers (APCs).
Moscow is also reportedly facing production limitations. The only infantry fighting vehicle in large-scale production remains the BMP-3, with 463 units produced in 2023. Modern BTR-82 armored personnel carrier production is estimated at 300–400 units annually.
