Details: The head of state explained that Ukraine needs Western fighters, because now Russia has an advantage in the air, which also allows it to advance on the ground.

Quote: "We have no advantage in the sky. We don't have modern aircraft. And the Swedish Gripen is the pride of your state. And I believe that the Prime Minister could share such pride with Ukraine. We are working on this, we have taken substantial steps," he said.

Zelenskyy, without specifying, added that for several weeks "there will be certain actions, which, I very much believe, will reveal the possibility of obtaining suitable aircraft in the future."

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I will have negotiations with several more states. And I am sure that we, together with our partners, will do everything and achieve an appropriate result in the sky so that the Russians do not have the corresponding advantage," the president concluded.

He did not specify with which states he would negotiate with.
