Sweden allocated funds to replace the Patriot air defense system of Romania. Earlier, Bucharest transferred its Patriot to Ukraine.
This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the press service of the Swedish Ministry of Defense.
The Swedish government decided to allocate 300 million kronor (about 26 million euros) for indirect support of Ukraine's air defense. The funds are to go to Romania to help it purchase a Patriot anti-aircraft missile system to replace the system that was transferred to Ukraine.
“Romania needs funds to be able to purchase Patriot missiles, sensors and other equipment to replace the systems that the country provided to Ukraine in 2024. Therefore, 300 million are being transferred to Romania,” the message says.
The funds will come from previously announced support packages for Ukraine.
