Russia has responded angrily, with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warning that it would consider the jets - which are capable of carrying atomic weapons - a nuclear threat. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, on a visit to Sweden, also discussed the possibility of obtaining the Swedish Gripen fighter jets.
Heavy fighting on at least three fronts has seen a Russian offensive on Kupiansk repelled and Ukrainian advances south of Bakhmut and at Urozhaine in the southeast.
