Sweden to contribute to Ukrainian production of long-range missiles and long-range drones

SWEDEN, November 29 - A bilateral meeting was held at Karlberg Palace, as were meetings with the Swedish defence industry that focused on possibilities for cooperation with Ukraine. A press conference was also held where plans for a upcoming Swedish support package were presented. Subject to a forthcoming parliament decision, the future support package may consist of significant financial contributions to the Ukrainian defence industry for the mass production of products such as long-range missiles and long-range drones, which will then be donated to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. 

This contribution may also be included in the upcoming 18th support package that the Government is planning to present early next year. Enhanced international cooperation with allies and partners may also be included in the next package, with the aim of further strengthening Ukraine’s capabilities as regards long-range missiles and long-range drones.

The 18th package will be financed within the framework of the three-year support package totalling SEK 25 billion per year between 2024 and 2026 for military support to Ukraine.
