Sweden is investing in the Ukrainian defense industry, in particular to increase the production of long-range weapons.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced this.

The Swedish government will allocate the funds as part of a new large package of military assistance to Ukraine, which is expected to be approved soon.

The Ukrainian defense ministry stated that Deputy Defense Minister Serhii Boyev met with Brigadier General Johan Axelsson, Director of the Technical Systems Testing and Evaluation Department of the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV).

During the conversation, Axelsson noted that a positive decision by the Swedish government to allocate a new military assistance package to Ukraine is expected soon.

It is noted that it should be the largest since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.

According to the Ministry of Defense, it is expected that, in addition to providing weapons, this aid package will include investments in Ukrainian defense production, in particular to increase long-range capabilities.

This could include support for the production of domestic long-range attack drones and Neptune cruise missiles, which are increasingly hitting the targets of the aggressor country.

The funding will be provided under the Danish model, which aims to purchase weapons from Ukrainian manufacturers in accordance with the proposals and needs of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

In addition, during the meeting, the parties agreed to develop a bilateral agreement to support the implementation of joint projects in the defense industry. They also discussed substantive proposals for their creation, including a list of priority products to be produced.

Last October, the Swedish government already allocated EUR 20 million euros to support the Ukrainian defense industry. These funds were part of a larger aid package worth €63 million.
