The Swedish government’s press service announced this on March 28.
“The government has instructed the Swedish Armed Forces to allocate funds to the coalitions in the fields of demining and drones within the framework of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG). These 80 million kronor are part of the 18th military aid package for Ukraine,” the statement says.
Thus, €3.6 million will be allocated for drones and another €3.6 million for demining.
“This support ensures that Ukraine can develop its drone technologies and demining capabilities. It will help both the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian society,” said Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson.
- During the ninth meeting of the Demining Coalition in November 2024, participants discussed Ukraine’s needs in equipment and weaponry and agreed on a roadmap for assistance from 2025 to 2034.
- In March 2025, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal stated that 23% of Ukraine’s territory remains potentially mined.
