Sweden pledges more military aid to Ukraine

Swedish Defence Minister Pal Jonson has said Sweden will send Ukraine a new military support package worth 2.2 billion crowns ($199 million) - consisting mainly of artillery ammunition - and is looking into sending fighter jets.

Jonson told a news conference that the armed forces were due to report by Nov. 6 on the potential for sending Jas Gripen jets to Ukraine after the government asked them to assess the issue, according to Reuters.
