Ukrainian President Zelenskiy made significant statements in Kiev.

Zelenskiy evaluated the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine War, stating that negotiations are ongoing to acquire a total of 250 fighter jets including F-16, Gripen, and Rafale to strengthen air defense systems. This is a critical step for Ukraine's future.

Zelenskiy noted that the Russians are increasingly using 'Shahed' type drones for attacks, which have become more dangerous. Therefore, he emphasized the need for intense efforts to strengthen the air force.

The agreements with Sweden for the procurement of Gripen fighter jets will enhance Ukraine's air power. Zelenskiy stated that these jets can perform a wide range of missions.

Zelenskiy mentioned that attacks on Russian energy resources continue and emphasized the need for support from allies to make these attacks effective.

He expressed hope that all necessary agreements to strengthen Ukraine's air defense systems would be implemented.
