"Sweden's support is long-term, substantial and based on Ukraine's needs and priorities. Through further support for the PURL initiative, Ukraine can quickly gain access to high-priority American assets. These include air defence systems and ammunition that enable Ukraine to continue to defend itself against Russia's constant attacks," Defence Minister Pål Jonson said.
