Western countries will provide Ukraine with aircraft, but it is not yet known which ones.
Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov stated this at a press conference on Sunday, February 5.
"Today, in terms of obtaining weapons, we have received everything, only aircraft remain. I can give you optimism - there will be planes as well, the question is simple - which ones," he stressed.
According to the minister, Ukraine's partners constantly hear the need for aircraft, since this is also part of air defense. In particular, Kyiv can get both F-16 and other aircraft.
He also added that Ukraine will become the world's second state in terms of the number of CAESAR self-propelled artillery installations after the manufacturer country - France.
"Now 12 CAESAR will come, which after my visit was announced by the French Minister of Defense. Plus, the decision of the kingdom of Denmark to transfer CAESAR to us, they ordered them for themselves from the French manufacturer," said Reznikov.
Reznikov also added that from Monday, February 6, the training of Ukrainian crews on Leopard tanks abroad will begin.
"We clearly understand how much, when, what country will give us (tanks - ed.). We clearly understand that from tomorrow, from Monday, training of tank crews outside Ukraine on Leopard begins," he concluded.
Recall that earlier Biden said that the United States will not give Ukraine F-16 planes.
However, according to CNN, the United States will not prevent the allies from transferring F-16 fighters to Ukraine.
