    Sweden is also considering financing the fighter jets from frozen Russian assets.

    So we have to wait for EU to agree on using the frozen Russian assets first. Too bad countries like Belgium, Hungary and Slovakia are blocking that. I think they could finance it with Swedish taxpayer money because defending Ukraine is the most cost-efficient way of defending Sweden and the rest of Europe.
