Ukraine Urges Sweden for Gripen Jets

Published: 2024-05-29

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Ukraine's Ambassador to Sweden Andrij Plachotnjuk visited Bromma Airport to inspect the ASC 890 radar and control aircraft being sent to Ukraine.

This is part of Sweden's largest military aid package to date, which is vital for Ukraine's defense efforts.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed gratitude, calling the support critical for Ukraine's resilience.

Despite this, Ukraine continues to seek the Jas Gripen system, which other coalition countries have advised Sweden to delay sending.
