CV90 combat vehicles are at the heart of the latest news in Sweden, where the government has just announced record military support for Ukraine. This aid, amounting to 633 million euros, comes a few days before the sad anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, on February 24.
Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson stressed the importance of supporting Ukraine in the face of an illegal war started by Russia. Swedish aid includes various military equipment, such as artillery munitions, warships, underwater weapons, anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft systems.
This gesture of solidarity towards Ukraine is not only a matter of humanitarian support, but also a strategy to ensure Sweden’s long-term security. Mikael Oscarsson, a member of the Christian Democratic Party, highlighted the direct consequences for Swedish security if Russia won the war in Ukraine.
In parallel with this Swedish aid, other countries such as France and Germany have also strengthened their military support for Ukraine to face current NATO challenges. International cooperation in this crucial area is therefore essential to guarantee stability and security in Europe.
It is important to emphasize that the situation in Ukraine remains worrying, with an aggressive Russia and a struggling Ukrainian army. Faced with this context, international solidarity and concrete actions of military support are more necessary than ever.
