"Sweden Boosts Military Support for Ukraine, Contemplates Fighter Jet Deployment"

Sweden has pledged a new military support package worth 2.2 billion crowns ($199 million) to Ukraine, consisting mainly of artillery ammunition, and is considering sending fighter jets. The Swedish government has asked the armed forces to assess the potential of sending Jas Gripen jets to Ukraine, but emphasized that Sweden would need to become a member of NATO before it could potentially spare any fighter jets. This aid package marks Sweden's 14th to Ukraine since Russia's invasion, bringing the total value of Swedish aid to just over 22 billion crowns. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has warned European leaders that Russia could attack other countries within five years if Europe were to waver in its support, but expressed confidence in continued U.S. and European financial aid.
