This was reported by the Swedish government, according to «Evropeiska pravda».
It is noted that this support is part of the 18th package of military assistance to Ukraine.
The Swedish government has repeatedly instructed the Swedish Armed Forces to support coalitions of forces and capabilities within the framework of the Contact Group on Defence of Ukraine. The Armed Forces will now receive a similar task and will provide SEK 40 million (EUR 3.6 million) to support the Mine Action Coalition and the same amount to support the Drone Coalition.
«This support will ensure that Ukraine can develop its drone technology and demining capabilities. This will help the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian society», said Defence Minister Paul Johnson.
As a reminder, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced the country's largest military rearmament plan since the Cold War.
