Zelensky has been visiting Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands since Saturday.
Now the president has already arrived in Greece.
Zelensky discussed defense cooperation with the Prime Minister of Sweden, including CV-90 infantry fighting vehicles. The Ukrainian military is successfully using the CV-90 at the front. According to the President, they are planned to be produced in Ukraine.
Representatives of Ukraine and Sweden signed a declaration of intent to jointly produce and service these Swedish infantry fighting vehicles.
In May 2023, Ukraine received 50 CV9040С infantry fighting vehicles as part of military assistance to the arsenal of the Swedish Armed Forces.
The main armament of this infantry fighting vehicle is a 40 mm Bofors automatic cannon and a coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun located in a stabilized turret. This makes it possible to conduct aimed fire on the move.
In addition, the CV9040 is highly cross-country and this characteristic makes this Swedish BMP literally indispensable for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
