In February, Sweden approved the transfer of 50 CV90 infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine.

Ukrainian soldiers underwent training in undisclosed locations in Sweden. 

On 18 May, the media reported that a Ukrainian brigade of 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers was trained in Sweden and equipped with modern Western technology, including Leopard 2 tanks, CV-90 combat vehicles, and Archer artillery systems. This training is said to make the brigade one of the most capable units that will participate in future counteroffensive actions.
