    Sweden donates £960m in military aid

    The Swedish government will donate military aid to Ukraine worth £960m.

    It is the largest package of the 16 Sweden has agreed to so far.

    "It consists of equipment that is at the top of Ukraine's priority list," deputy prime minister Ebba Busch said.

    This includes air defence, artillery ammunition and armoured vehicles.

    Sweden's defence minister Pal Jonsson said the country has ruled out sending any Swedish-built JAS 39 Gripen jets for now, saying Ukrainian is focusing on implementing the F-16 programme.

    Several countries have said they want to donate F-16s, with Belgium pledging 30 yesterday.

    Mr Jonsson said Sweden "is still working on possibly being able to contribute with the Gripen system later."
