FOREIGN. The US has sent four times more military aid than the entire EU has to Ukraine, according to a report by a German think tank. In addition, the EU countries are now scaling back their arms deliveries to the heart of the conflict, Ekot reports.



"It is remarkable that the United States alone has committed significantly more than all the EU countries combined, in whose immediate neighborhood the war is raging," writes the German Kiel Institute, which produced the figures.

13 countries including Norway are more generous in their aid to Ukraine than Sweden, according to the report.

As support, however, the reception of refugees is also included, and Sweden has had a low reception of refugees from Ukraine since the government initially expressed a dismissive attitude towards Ukrainian refugees.

The low Swedish reception is probably also due to the fact that most of those fleeing Ukraine are women, who naturally avoid Sweden.
