He said this in a comment to Ukrainska Pravda.
"After Easter is quite a long time. Of course, the Air Force, like all Ukrainians, would like to see F-16 multirole fighters in the airspace as soon as possible, so we are waiting for them as soon as possible," Yevlash said.
"As soon as it becomes known that the first F-16s have arrived in Ukraine, we will communicate this issue and officially inform our citizens that we have these multi-role fighters," he added.
Yevlash did not specify how many fighter jets he was talking about.
According to him, the pilots are currently being trained in the US and Denmark.
It is worth noting that Eastern Rite Christians celebrate Easter on May 5 this year.
- Earlier, Danish Ambassador to Ukraine Ole Egberg Mikkelsen said that Denmark would send Ukraine the promised F-16 fighter jets in the summer of 2024.
- On April 29, Yevlash said that Ukraine was preparing a set of measures to protect F-16 fighter jets when they are at airfields. In particular, these include underground shelters and bunkers.
