Ukraine agrees with Sweden to supply Saab JAS-39 Gripen fighter jets as part of military aid.
According to RBC-Ukraine, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Ihor Zhovkva said this in an interview with Voice of America.
According to Zhovkva, the topic of supplying Gripen to Ukraine was constantly raised by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during talks with Swedish officials. But before joining NATO, Stockholm was not ready to make any promises.
"Now the country is in NATO, and my president is again talking to the Swedish prime minister, and our defense ministry is talking to the relevant Swedish authorities. These fighters are as good as F-16s, and we are moving in this direction," the deputy head of the OP emphasized.
