This is stated on the website of the Swedish government.

It is claimed that these infantry fighting vehicles have shown themselves well on the battlefield in Ukraine.

Denmark will make a financial contribution of DKK 1.8 billion, and Sweden will support the procurement under an agreement concluded between the Defence Equipment Agency (FMV) and Ukraine in July 2023.

"This is an important step to support Ukraine's defence forces together with Denmark. We will use industrial potential to ensure the supply of new CV90 combat vehicles to Ukraine. The CV90 combat vehicle has been and is a significant addition to Ukraine's defence after Sweden delivered 50 infantry fighting vehicles earlier this year," said Swedish Defence Minister.

  • In January, the Swedish government approved the transfer of the Archer artillery system and 50 CV90 infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine.
  • In May, Jonson personally tested the infantry fighting vehicles that his country is providing to Kyiv.
