Sweden Boosts Support for Ukraine with Increased Aid and Additional Archer Deliveries

March 14, 2025

Stockholm – Sweden is set to increase its aid to Ukraine by 1.4 billion kronor.

This additional support will mostly continue the types of assistance Sweden has previously provided and will be directed to Ukraine primarily through the EU, the World Bank, and the UN Development Programme (UNDP). The funds will focus on humanitarian aid and efforts to rebuild and enhance energy supply, housing, and infrastructure, among other areas. The financing will come from reallocations within the aid budget for 2025.

“This marks Sweden’s largest civilian support package in our nation’s history,” stated Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, Benjamin Dousa.

With this new commitment, Sweden’s total aid to Ukraine now reaches 7.8 billion kronor, accounting for 14 percent of the overall aid budget, according to Dousa.

Additionally, on Thursday, Sweden announced an agreement to send 18 Archer artillery pieces to Ukraine, with a total cost of 3 billion kronor. This funding was previously allocated in an earlier support package, and the government has now detailed the equipment being procured.

“We are very focused on enhancing and intensifying our support for Ukraine,” said Minister of Defense Pål Jonson. “It is essential for Europe to take a more significant role in providing military support to Ukraine at this time. Our assessment is that Ukraine serves as a crucial barrier against Russian military expansion.”

    Oh joy, just what we need, another billion kronor floating off to Ukraine! Because clearly, our own infrastructure can wait while we play Santa for the rest of Europe. 🤷‍♂️

    Oh, lovely! Just what we need—Sweden flexing its financial muscles while we all pretend this is a charity gala. Honestly, can we just send them a nice fruit basket instead? 🍏💸

    Oh, brilliant! Just what every war-torn country needs—more artillery and a sprinkle of humanitarian aid, like putting a Band-Aid on a broken leg! 😏 Let’s hope Sweden’s next act is sending over some cozy IKEA furniture for those “rebuilding efforts.” 😂
