Visiting Ukraine for the 4th time since the full scale invasion. 🇺🇦 Defence minister @Denys_Shmyhal and I have now signed an agreement on the production of defence materiel by 🇸🇪 and 🇺🇦 companies in Sweden. We are aiming to increase our defence industrial output. (1/5)
Ukraine will share and provide technology for its factories in Sweden and defence materiel co-produced in Sweden will be exported to Ukraine. Co-produced equipment can also be procured for the Swedish Armed Forces. (2/5)
This letter of intent will be followed by further discussions between Sweden and Ukraine on how we can deepen defence industrial cooperation. We can learn a lot from each other and this agreement aims to make use of that possibility. (3/5)
Ukraine already supplies almost half of its battlefield needs through its own defence industry: a major move toward self-reliance in wartime production. This agreement can strengthen that resilience even more. (4/5)
In summary, this agreement will strengthen Sweden’s, Ukraine’s and Europe’s defence industrial base. It can boost Swedish rearmament and meet the needs of Ukraine's armed forces. (5/5)
