@swedishPM and I just announced that Sweden is joining the Leopard 2 tank coalition. Sweden will give up to 10 Leopard 2 A5 main battle tanks to Ukraine. This, with the 50 CV90 infantry fighting vehicles on the way, will significantly strengthen the armed forces of Ukraine. (1/7) pic.twitter.com/wk7DFBVCYr

HAWK is a medium range system that defends against enemy aircraft, helicopters and missiles. This donation can help Ukraine strengthen its air defences in multiple places and help deny Russia access to the airspace. (3/7)

In December I visited Odessa and Mykolaiv. I spoke with soldiers and civilians. They said the support with weapons greatly contributed to the defence of Ukraine. It made possible counter attacks to liberate occupied land. The visit inspired me to deliver more military aid. (5/7)

I am certain a Ukrainian victory is possible and that Ukraine, including Krim and the four illegally annexed provinces, again can and will be a free and independent country living in peace. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 (7/7)
