No country has committed to provide Ukraine with fighter jets - Ukraine's Foreign Minister

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said this in an interview with the German WAZ.

"So far, no country has committed to supplying fighter jets. But some governments, such as the British, have announced training for Ukrainian pilots on Western fighter jets, and others will do so soon," the minister said.

He also explained why Ukraine needs fighter jets.

"There are two points. Fighter jets support our own air defense, because aircraft can also be used to shoot down enemy missiles. Secondly, aviation is important for counter offensives. We would be particularly interested in fighters from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. These countries have the largest production facilities and the largest aircraft fleets," Kuleba said.

However, Ukraine also needs tanks, artillery systems and ammunition, the minister emphasized.

• On February 16, the European Parliament adopted a resolution to mark the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion. Among other things, MEPs called for the transfer of fighter jets to Kyiv.
