Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba believes that the Russian leadership should be afraid of a Ukrainian soldier, not F-16 aircraft which will be delivered on schedule.

Ukraine’s top diplomat made a relevant post on Twitter in response to Moscow's statement that it would consider fighter jets sent to Ukraine as a "nuclear" threat. “Russia's only threat is a Ukrainian soldier. This is whom Putin & co should be most afraid of. Ukraine will receive F-16s on schedule. Russia will swallow it despite Lavrov’s tongue-rattling,” Kuleba noted.
