Where the parties stand

Riksdag parties

Skicka JAS Gripen till Ukraina. Säkerställ att Ukraina får JAS Gripen snabbt och utbilda ukrainska piloter.

Quote in Swedish, from the party’s programme

Centerpartiet on Defence
Det gör vi genom kraftfulla sanktioner mot Ryssland och genom att bistå Ukraina med omfattande militära, ekonomiska och humanitära stödpaket.

Quote in Swedish, from the party’s programme

Kristdemokraterna on Defence
Sverige och EU ska fortsätta trappa upp sitt bistånd till Ukraina med vapen och ekonomiskt stöd ända till den siste ryske soldaten har lämnat.

Quote in Swedish, from the party’s programme

Liberalerna on Defence
Vi vill verka för ett fortsatt omfattande stöd till Ukraina, både militärt och humanitärt, så länge det behövs för att Ukraina ska segra.

Quote in Swedish, from the party’s programme

Moderaterna on Defence
Samtidigt måste lagstiftningen möjliggöra att Sverige solidariskt kan stödja länder som kämpar för sin frihet, sitt självbestämmande och sina demokratiska rättigheter mot angrepp, exempelvis Ukraina.

Arguments

Common arguments on each side, written without party attribution.

For
  • Predictable supply lets Ukraine plan operations and gives Swedish industry firm production commitments.
  • Case-by-case review delays shipments at moments when timing materially affects battlefield outcomes.
  • Solidarity with a partner under invasion is widely seen as a strategic interest, not just humanitarian.
Against
  • Case-by-case review preserves the sovereign judgment that Sweden’s export-control regime is built on.
  • Blanket authorisation removes a lever to respond to changing legal or operational concerns mid-conflict.
  • Streamlining the process is possible without abandoning the principle of individual review.

About Polara

Polara is a personal side project by Jonas Svensson — an attempt to see whether you can build a Swedish voting compass without party colour, agenda, or political funding.

The site draws on what the parties say themselves: election manifestos, party programmes, and websites. Every position links back to its source, and uncertainty is shown rather than hidden.

Open method. No accounts. No tracking. Here to help you think, not to persuade.
