Ukraine plans to produce Swedish CV-90 combat vehicles

Ukraine intends to start local production of Swedish-made CV-90 fighter vehicles as soon as possible, Volodimir Zelenski said, adding that he has started talks with the Swedish leadership on the possibility of obtaining Swedish-made Gripen fighter jets, UNIAN reports.

This was confirmed in Sweden at a press conference with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.

"Let me assure you: for my government in the foreign policy sphere, there is no more important task than supporting Ukraine in its struggle for sovereignty and territorial integrity. Ukraine is fighting for us, for all European democracies," he said.

He added that as of February 2022, Swedish bilateral assistance to Ukraine amounted to €2.2 billion.
