Swedish Politician's Ukraine Aid Cap Sparks Backlash
In a recent statement, Jimmie Åkesson, the leader of Sweden's Sweden Democrats (SD), advocated for setting an annual budget for aid to Ukraine, suggesting there should be a limit to the support. This proposal has sparked controversy, drawing criticism from prominent political figures including Peter Hultqvist, a Social Democrat and former Defense Minister, and Johan Pehrson, leader of the Liberals (L), both of whom argue that there should be no upper limit to the aid given to Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of solidarity and self-preservation.
