Zelenskyy seeks fighter jets deal on Sweden visit as Russian strikes slam Ukraine
- On October 22, 2025, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in Linköping, Sweden, and the Swedish government said they will hold a joint press conference on defence exports.
- Seeking winter energy and military backing, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy raised support with Sweden and Norway, where about 150 million dollars was committed for gas purchases this year.
- Linköping, home to Saab and the JAS 39 Gripen, is central to talks about potential jet deliveries, with Kristersson stating `A strong and capable Ukraine is a key priority for Sweden`.
- Following Sweden and Norway, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy plans stops in Brussels on Oct. 23 and London for a Coalition of the Willing meeting on Oct. 24 amid a deadly drone attack on Kyiv.
- Seeking missiles and air defences, Zelenskyy presses the United States for long-range Tomahawk missiles and 25 Patriot air-defence systems, though production waits and training and logistics systems pose challenges; earlier this week, he noted U.S. interest in bilateral gas projects including the Odesa LNG terminal.
