Sweden joins drone coalition for Ukraine

The Swedish Ministry of Defense reported the information. 

Jonson noted that drones have become an important part of modern warfare and are crucial for Ukraine, as they repel Russian attacks and gather intelligence on the battlefield.

"Together with other countries, we will support Ukraine in the coalition on drones with regard to purchasing, procurement and drone pilot training," the minister said.

The Ministry also recalled that Sweden had previously allocated €28 million to support Ukraine's defense capabilities, with €10 million specifically designated for the drone coalition.

In addition to Sweden, the coalition includes Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom. The coalition is jointly led by Latvia and the United Kingdom.

• On July 11, Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen signed an international cooperation agreement in the field of drones, under which Ukraine will receive 1 million small strike drones over the next year.
