Yermak believes Ukraine may receive F-16 fighter jets before year end

Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak believes the ‘fighter jet coalition’ may provide the F-16 aircraft to Ukraine by late 2023.

The relevant statement was made by Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak in Kyiv on Tuesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“I believe that it is absolutely realistic to receive the F-16 fighter jets before the end of the year,” Yermak said.

In his words, Ukraine’s negotiations with foreign partners are being carried out intensively and productively in this regard.

“There is no such thing as someone not doing something and we don’t know why: everything is open and transparent, in complete trust,” Yermak noted.

Commenting on talks with the United States about the supply of long-range weapons, Yermak expressed confidence that the decision would be made. However, he refused to make any forecasts regarding the time limits.
