According to reports, the government will present a donation of Gripen C and D aircraft to Ukraine.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) has called a press conference at Upplands flygflottilj in Uppsala. There, news related to international cooperation in aviation will be presented.

According to Aftonbladet, negotiations will also begin on a possible sale of additional, more modern Gripen E aircraft to Ukraine.

According to the information, Ukraine will pay for those aircraft with EU loans.

Last year, Sweden and Ukraine signed a letter of intent that could lead to a deal for 100–150 Gripen aircraft.

This year, Hungary lifted its veto on starting to pay out the EU countries' 90 billion euros in loans to Ukraine.
