| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Text taken from a Russia Today news article. No link provided. Sorry. [ColonelCassad] Swedish Defense Minister Mikael Büden visited Ukraine and inspected the location of the 45th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, to which Swedish armored vehicles and other weapons were previously supplied. Recently, 155mm Archer wheeled self-propelled guns and ammunition were transferred to the same brigade. These self-propelled guns are already participating in combat operations. Since 2022, Sweden has been actively supplying various weapons to Ukraine: tanks, various armored fighting vehicles, self-propelled guns, grenade launchers, MANPADS, small arms, ammunition, equipment. Currently under consideration is the possibility of supplying Grippen fighters in the medium term. Of course, Sweden, even without being a member of NATO, is one of the direct accomplices of the United States in inciting war in Ukraine. And Sweden’s course towards Russia is currently completely hostile. Budin himself is far from the first Western leader to come to the Ukrainian front. Back in 2016, the then commander of US ground forces in Europe, General Hodges, came to the front in the Donbass with mantras identical to Budin: “The United States will continue to provide assistance to the Ukrainian army.” So Budin, even at the verbal level, copies the overlord. Sweden thus shows that it is fully following the Washington course and will continue to spend significant resources to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine even in the face of obvious domestic political problems in the United States. Accordingly, it is premature to count on the fact that the European vassals of the United States have had some kind of insight. Now, first of all, they expect the United States to solve its internal problems and return to the previous regime of financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But before that, they have to hold the line, demonstrating support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (including with such visits), and scrape out the remaining resources to transfer to Ukraine. |
