\"Sweden<\/p>\n

Sweden has allocated 80 million Swedish kronor ($7.6 million) to support Ukraine’s drone and demining efforts as part of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG), the Swedish government announced in a press release on March 28.<\/p>\n

The funding will be split evenly between the capability coalitions for drones and mine clearance, and forms part of Sweden\u2019s 18th military aid package to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“This support ensures that Ukraine can develop its drone technology and mine clearance capabilities. It will help the Ukrainian army and the Ukrainian society,” said<\/a> Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson.<\/p>\n

The UDCG, comprising over 50 countries, coordinates international military assistance for Ukraine. Sweden<\/a> has been an active contributor to the group, which includes specific coalitions focused on strengthening Ukraine\u2019s capacity in areas such as air defense, demining, and drones.<\/p>\n

Ukraine remains<\/a> the most mined country in the world. Despite ongoing hostilities, Ukraine has reduced the area considered as potentially hazardous by over 35,000 square kilometers (13,500 square miles).<\/p>\n

Some 399 civilians have been killed, and 915 have been injured by mines since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, according to U.N. monitors.<\/p>\n

Multiple countries have been assisting Ukraine with demining efforts<\/a> and providing training and equipment.<\/a><\/p>\n

In recent months, Sweden has continued to provide Ukraine with various aid packages.<\/p>\n

On March 8 the Swedish Embassy in Ukraine announced<\/a> the country will provide 22.5 million Swedish kronor ($2.2 million) to support Ukrainian women. And on Jan. 30, the country announced<\/a> a military aid package to Ukraine worth over $1.2 billion \u2014 Sweden’s largest tranche of military assistance since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.<\/p>\n
