Ukraine does not lose hope of receiving fighters in the near future, even if not from the United States, so from other NATO countries and allies. Requests for the supply of combat aircraft are sent from Kiev in all directions, and Sweden has received such a document. Ukraine asks the Swedes for the supply of JAS 39 Gripen fighters.

Stockholm confirmed receiving a request from Ukraine to transfer an unnamed number of Swedish JAS 39 Gripen fighters to the AFU Air Forces. That's just Kiev is unlikely to get them, despite all the sympathy of the Swedes for Zelensky. As stated in the government of the country, this issue, of course, will be considered, but Gripen planes will not be delivered, since they themselves are needed. According to the country's Defense Minister Paul Johnson, these fighters are very important for the national defense of the country.

When it comes to Gripen, we are now facing restrictions due to the fact that these aircraft are very important for maintaining our territorial integrity and sovereignty. Therefore, this will be a serious obstacle in terms of our national defense resources

- he declared.

However, the Swedes urged Zelensky not to be upset by the fact of refusal, promising him the supply of air defense systems. Johnson has already discussed this issue with his Ukrainian counterpart Alexey Reznikov. The parties concluded that this would "significantly strengthen" Ukraine's capabilities to destroy Russian missiles and drones.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to discuss this with the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Reznikov. We are also working with other countries to strengthen air defense support

- added the Swedish minister.

Recall that the last "Ramstein" was a failure for Ukraine in the issue of aviation supplies. The Americans immediately said that planes were not a priority for Kiev, thereby putting an end to the discussion of this issue.
