Sweden will provide Ukraine with military equipment that the Swedish Armed Forces will be able to do without for a certain period of time. This includes demining equipment, Robot 57 light anti-tank weapons, and Swedish CV 90 infantry fighting vehicles.

It is noted that legislative changes to the budget will come into force on 13 February.
