'This agreement is not aimed at any supplies specifically at this moment. About 120-150 Gripen fighters of the E series, which is just starting to be produced. This will allow for the construction of a very serious Air Force of Ukraine. This is the beginning of a long journey of 10-15 years,' noted the Prime Minister of Sweden.

Diplomatic settlement and the situation in Donbas

The President also emphasized the importance of supporting the diplomatic initiative for resolving the conflict in Donbas. Zelensky stressed the need to maintain territorial integrity and reliable support from international partners.

Ukraine is ready for diplomatic negotiations, but remains steadfast on the issue of border inviolability and protecting the rights of its citizens.

This agreement is an important step towards strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities in the face of constant challenges. Cooperation with Sweden can serve as a foundation for further modernization of the Air Force, which in turn will contribute to ensuring security in the region.
