"Denmark and Sweden have exemplary defense cooperation, both bilaterally and under the auspices of NATO, NORDEFCO and the EU, which is of great importance for the security of both nations. The current bilateral agreement is an important contribution to our shared ambition to continue to support Ukraine's fight for freedom. That is why we are joining forces to deliver the Swedish-made infantry fighting vehicles that Ukraine has requested to use in its defense against Russia," said Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
It is also reported that Sweden has already handed over 50 CV90 units to Ukraine.
