President Zelensky expressed gratitude to Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and the Swedish Government for the $1.23 billion support, which is the 18th and largest Swedish defense package sent to Ukraine so far.

Zelensky stated that this military aid would meet the urgent needs of the Ukrainian army and help strengthen its defense capabilities, adding: "Strengthening our long-range capabilities and investments in weapons production in Ukraine are invaluable."

He emphasized that threats like Russia's do not stop on their own; they advance until they are met with force. "That is why, to ensure peace and protect lives, we must continue strengthening this line together from the Black Sea to the Baltic."
