Sweden is allocating €63 million in military aid to Ukraine from its previous support packages. Of this money, €20 million will be used to purchase Ukrainian-made defense equipment.
This was reported by the Swedish government press service, Babel reports.
It is known that the Swedish Defense Logistics Agency has signed an agreement with Denmark that the latter will receive €20 million to be spent on the purchase of Ukrainian weapons and equipment. Sweden will continue to promote procurement based on the Danish model, as increased production in Ukraine strengthens the European defense industrial base.
In this way, Sweden wants to be able to jointly develop innovative solutions and increase Ukraine’s capacity to produce and maintain defense equipment.
Another €43 million will go to multilateral initiatives already launched to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. These include the Fighter Coalition, Maritime Security Coalition, Mine Action Coalition and IT Coalition.
Also, as part of this support, Sweden will contribute to the NATO CAP Fund for Ukraine, which purchases military equipment.
