The aid package, first announced in mid-January, reportedly includes modern Archer self-propelled artillery systems, Stridsfordon 90 armored personnel carriers, anti-tank weapons, assault rifles and mine clearance equipment.

Archer is one of the most advanced artillery systems in the world, capable of launching projectiles at a distance of up to 50 kilometers. The Swedish government did not specify how many Archer self-propelled guns will be delivered to Ukraine.

Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24, Sweden has provided Ukraine with more than $475 million.
