Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted this.

“Every discussion about supplying Ukraine with a new, crucial kind of weapon started with a "no" and ended with a "yes". In the last year, we have unlocked political decisions on six of the seven types of game-changer weapons. The only one left is combat aircraft,” he wrote.

On January 24, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba commented on media reports that Ukraine would receive tanks by saying that the allies were already lobbying for the delivery of F-16s.
On February 23, UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said that combat aircraft available to NATO member states could be transferred to Ukraine.
On February 23, Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland also announced that the US was discussing the transfer of fourth- and fifth-generation combat aircraft to Ukraine.
During a press conference on February 24, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that negotiations are underway to train the Ukrainian military on F-16s and to obtain the aircraft with three more European countries.
