Sweden has pledged to support efforts to increase arms deliveries to Ukraine following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a major weapons package— including Patriot missile systems — to be supplied through NATO.

“We welcome the U.S. decision to enable tougher sanctions on Russia and facilitate the delivery of Patriots and other weapon systems to Ukraine,” Swedish Defence Minister Pål Jonson said in a statement to Reuters.

“Sweden will contribute,” he added, though he did not specify the form or extent of the support.
