STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Sweden plans a new military support package to Ukraine worth 3.4 billion crowns ($313.5 million), consisting mainly of ammunition and spare parts to previously delivered weapon systems, Defence Minister Pal Jonson said on Tuesday.

"We have to prepare ourselves for the fact this could be a long-lasting war and we also have a long-term perspective so that we can support those platforms that we are sending to Ukraine in a lasting manner," Jonson told a news conference.

The new military aid package will be Sweden's 13th to Ukraine since the start of the war, taking the total value of the Nordic country's such aid
