The deployment of the missiles was first announced by Vladimir Putin in March - with the president repeatedly warning that Russia would be ready to use nuclear weapons if needed to defend its "territorial integrity".ĭetails of when the transfer of the weapons would start were not revealed.

It is a significant softening of policy from Sweden and comes after the US agreed to allow Western nations to export American-made F-16s to Ukraine. The country's defence minister Pal Jonsson says the government is considering whether to let Ukrainian pilots test the Swedish jets. Sweden could allow Ukrainian pilots to test its own fighter jets - the JAS-39 Gripen.
