The Head of State noted that a decision has now been made regarding combat aviation.
"Swedish fighter jets will certainly strengthen our air force and our air defence. We expect to receive the first deliveries, the first Gripen jets, within the next 10 months. We will do everything possible on our part. We are very much counting on this.
It is important that these are aircraft with the appropriate armament package. This will help, in particular, with our defence against Russian guided bombs," Zelenskyy emphasised.
In addition, he added, Ukraine is ready to purchase Gripen.
"We are starting to do this," he noted.
