Zelenskyy: 'I spoke with the Swedish PM. I am grateful to Ulf for his support and for his clear position on Russia’s war against Ukraine, against our people.The key issue is, naturally, air defense. We now see that the Russians are putting their eggs in the basket of ballistic missile strikes, combined attacks, and jet-powered “shaheds.” Protection against this is the key to depriving Russia of the ability to drag out the war. Of course, Ulf and I discussed steps that can be taken to enhance our defense capabilities. We are working actively to ensure, on time, all the infrastructure, training and operational deployment of the Swedish Gripen fighter jets. This is a historic strengthening of our combat aviation and major economic cooperation between Ukraine and Sweden in the security sphere. It must be absolutely effective. We are also working within the Ukraine-Sweden Drone Deal format.'
