SIGNING OF BILATERAL DOCUMENTS AND STATEMENTS BY VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY AND ULF CHRISTERSSON
Today, we are certainly opening a new and very meaningful page in our relations – relations between Ukraine and Sweden, and even more so – security relations in Europe in general.
Today there is such a first document between our countries, which paves the way for Ukraine to receive a serious fleet of Swedish-made Gripen combat aircraft. And these are very cool planes, strong aviation platforms that allow you to perform a wide range of tasks. Everyone can see what threats it helps against. We expect that the future contract will allow us to receive at least 100 such aircraft.
Thanks to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Sweden for their willingness to cooperate on this, as well as Saab, which manufactures Gripens.
An important meeting with the Prime Minister of Sweden, Ulf Kristersson. We greatly value our relationship with Sweden and all expressions of support for our people. And today one of the key topics of our negotiations is the strengthening of Ukraine’s defense capabilities. We consider the JAS 39 Gripen aircraft as one of the most effective elements of this and expect to receive the first “gripens” as early as 2026. The situation with air defense and the implementation of the PURL initiative were also discussed. Separate and special attention is paid to Ukrainian energy, current needs, given the constant attacks by Russia on the energy infrastructure.
Positions were coordinated with the Prime Minister on the eve of the meetings to be held this week in Europe: the meeting of the European Council in Brussels and the coalition of the willing in London. It is important to be united in our decisions in order to achieve the results we need.
Glory to Ukraine! We believe in the Armed Forces and help them! Together we are a force! Glory to Ukraine!
