The Ukrainian leader also announced that the country will receive its first Swedish Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets in early 2027.\n\nZelenskyy highlighted Russia's continual attempts to attack vessels in the Black Sea, irrespective of the nationality of the ships. In an effort to safeguard maritime traffic, Ukraine is collaborating with partners to develop various drone-based escort systems. Discussions in Abu Dhabi aimed to prepare for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as an energy and maritime truce.\n\nThe primary objective, according to Zelenskyy, is to cease the war due to the significant loss of lives. He emphasized that only after the war ends should the structure of agreements, security guarantees, and conditions for prosperity be decided. The Ukrainian delegation in the UAE is headed by Rustem Umerov and comprises Kyrylo Budanov, Davyd Arakhamia, Serhii Kyslytsia, and Vadym Skibitskyi.\n\nEarlier this month, Zelenskyy announced that Norway is participating in FREYJA and that the participating nations have identified opportunities to expedite testing to conclude by the end of the year.",
