As Dagens Nyheter writes, Jonson noted that this initiative is coordinated by NATO, and the Swedish contribution will be immediately provided to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities.
The aid package reportedly includes, among other things, missiles for the Patriot air defense system, anti-tank weapons, and ammunition.
The most important thing in this is the strong signal that American commitments continue, there is clearer NATO coordination, and this is defense equipment that only the United States has today
