Additional amending budget for 2025 – Support to Ukraine

The Riksdag voted in favour of the Government’s proposal for an additional amending budget 2025 to donate military equipment to Ukraine for a limited period.  

The Government is thus authorised to send military equipment and energy-related supplies to Ukraine. The proposal also involves increased appropriations and authorisation to acquire and prepare equipment for donation to Ukraine, and to be able to replace parts of the equipment proposed for donation to Ukraine. 

The equipment that will be donated includes, for example, infantry equipment, vehicles, anti-tank weapons, ammunition and combat vessels with weapons.

For the central government budget, the proposals mean that allocated funds will decrease by a total of SEK 6.2 billion in 2025. The reduction in expenditure is expected to strengthen central government savings by SEK 6.2 billion and reduce central government borrowing requirements by a corresponding amount.  The proposed amendments to the order authorisations mean increased expenditure and appropriations are estimated to be required to increase by a total of SEK 6.2 billion in 2026–2028.
