Now that article 5 has entered the chat, Gripen watch is back on. What I'd love to see is a more standardized situation where, instead of scrounging some F16s, we see a procurement contract. Would be a shiver down the collective Russian spine if they announce that Gripen E is the new mainline jet of the Ukrainian air force, and that deliveries will start Soon™. It has connotations. These aren't a loan, they're not a gift. We bought them, they're Ukrainian, and you may just see them flying sorties over Russia. 120 airframes with sustainment and weaponry, some tasty Meteor missiles sprinkled in.

Probably wishful thinking, but you never know.
