President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a phone call with Prime Minister of Sweden Ulf Kristersson.
The Head of State informed him about the situation on the battlefield and expressed gratitude for the tangible defense support. This year, Sweden has allocated $4 billion in defense assistance to Ukraine.
The leaders discussed the diplomatic situation in detail. Ulf Kristersson emphasized that Sweden, like all the Nordic countries, firmly supports the need for the quickest possible, just, and reliable end to the war, as well as effective pressure on Russia. It is the aggressor that must take steps to end the war it started.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ulf Kristersson agreed to continue coordinating with other partners to strengthen their positions.
The President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of Sweden discussed possible meeting formats and agreed to carry out the relevant visits in the near future.
The parties also focused on cooperation in developing Ukraine’s military aviation. Work is now underway to determine which combat platforms the aviation fleet will operate on in the future. The relevant teams from Ukraine and Sweden will thoroughly address this issue.
