He said this following a meeting with his Swedish counterpart, Pål Jonson.

"This is another step towards strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities, which demonstrates the confidence of our partners in our military-industrial potential," Umerov said.

The parties also discussed plans for financing assistance to Ukraine for 2025. Umerov noted that the parties are working to ensure that this support is even greater and meets the real needs of Ukrainian defenders.

  • The UK government has announced that it will allocate 7.5 million pounds (about €8.8 million) for military aid to Ukraine: the funds will be used to purchase attack and reconnaissance drones.
