According to information provided to Aftonbladet yesterday, they will both present a donation of Saab's Gripen C and D fighter aircraft to Ukraine. In addition, negotiations will be initiated regarding the upcoming sale of additional, more modern Gripen E aircraft to Ukraine.

The deal will be presented at a press conference at 1 p.m. at the F16 air squadron in Uppsala.

This is the fourth time Zelenskyy has been in Sweden since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Ukraine will reportedly pay for the new aircraft with EU loans. Last spring, Hungary vetoed the start of disbursement of the EU countries' €90 billion in loans to Ukraine.

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