ai generated text

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that Ukrainian pilots have begun flying F-16 fighter jets, marking a significant milestone for the country. The arrival of the US-made jets is seen as a major boost to Ukraine's military capabilities, particularly in its efforts to defend against Russian missile attacks. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for the delivery of the first batch of F-16s, stating that it is a "reality in our skies" and a testament to Ukraine's determination to defend itself.

    Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Ukraine Government
    1. Since the beginning of this war, we have been talking with our partners about the need to protect our Ukrainian skies from Russian missiles and Russian aircraft.
    2. This is the new stage of development of the air force of Ukraine's armed forces.
    3. Now it is a reality. F-16s are in Ukraine. I am proud of all our men who are mastering these aircraft and have already started using them for our country.
    4. I thank Denmark, the Netherlands, and the United States. And to all our partners - we appreciate your support.
    5. We often heard the word 'impossible'... Now it is a reality. Reality in our skies. F-16s in Ukraine. We made it happen.
    6. We will work on this ... I think we have a good option of a Nato-Ukraine council ... so that Nato countries could talk to Ukraine about the possibility of a small coalition of neighbouring countries that would shoot down enemy missiles.
