President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had seen a working plan to receive F-16 fighter jets. It is divided into some six-month periods. Zelensky said this during a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, an UNN correspondent reports.
"We will receive the first batch of F-16 this year. Frederiksen said that we can probably get a part of this batch in the coming summer months. I won't say specifically. We will get a part of our agreements this year. This is a fact, because the appropriate pilots and technical teams will be ready for this number of aircraft, in addition to the crews, infrastructure things must also be prepared," Zelensky said.
The President said that he had seen a working plan for the F-16.
"I saw a working plan at the Stavka to get the planes. It is divided into some six months," Zelensky said.
