Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday was working with Sweden on a major defence package, including Gripen fighter jets, as Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson welcomed him to Sweden. Kristersson and Zelenskyy signed a letter of intent last year under which Sweden could sell up to 150 of its Saab Gripen model E fighter jets to Ukraine. But with deliveries years away, there are discussions about transfers of existing C/D model Swedish Gripens. “We are preparing a major defence package which will definitely make our combat aviation more effective,” Zelenskyy said.
