28.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Sweden Gave Ukraine Gripen Jets
⌨
The day's dominant story was Sweden's announcement to transfer 16 Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine, with an option for 22 more, armed with 200-km missiles. This development, covered across all major outlets, marked a significant boost to Ukraine's air force and dominated headlines from late morning onward.
Earlier, editors focused on the US embassy confirming it would remain in Kyiv despite Russian threats, and the ratification of a €90 billion EU loan with unpopular conditions. Zelensky's visit to Sweden for a new defense package set the stage for the Gripen news.
By evening, reports confirmed Ukrainian pilots were already training on the jets, with delivery expected in 10 months. Other stories included a record-long communication outage at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and US congressmen urging more air defense missiles for Ukraine.
