Additional amending budget for 2023 – Further military equipment to Ukraine
Published:
The Riksdag has voted in favour of the Government's proposal to donate military equipment to Ukraine in the form of ammunition, spare parts for previously donated equipment, communication equipment and infantry equipment, such as personal equipment and weapons for infantry combat, which can be spared from the Swedish Armed Forces for a limited time, with a maximum value of SEK 1,657,000,000.
The Government may submit two ordinary amending budgets per year. However, it may also submit additional amending budgets if it considers that there are special reasons to do so. According to the Government, the situation in Ukraine constitutes such a reason, and the Riksdag's assessment is not in any way different from that of the Government.
