Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday thanked Western allies for their decisions on the delivery of battle tanks to Ukraine and called on NATO countries to "unlock" the supply of long-range missiles and military aircraft to Kiev.
"Today I spoke with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. We have to unlock the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine, it is important for us to expand our cooperation in artillery, we have to achieve the supply of aircraft to Ukraine," Zelenskyy said, as quoted on the government website.
Yuriy Sak, the adviser to Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, expressed his confidence that the West would eventually send F-16s and other military aircraft to Ukraine.

F-16 fighter jets, if supplied by the Netherlands to Kiev, will not reach the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), but will be downed before approaching the so-called grey zone and thoroughly studied, a source in the DPR law enforcement agencies told TASS on Thursday.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said on Wednesday that unnamed ‘European colleagues’ were working on the issue of delivering US-made F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. The issue of deliveries was earlier raised during debates in the parliament of the Netherlands. Later, the country’s prime minister Mark Rutte said that this issue was out of question at the moment, but added that nothing is ruled out.
