Apr 21, 2023
The discussion about the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine continues. In particular, this issue will be discussed during the next Ramstein meeting of the contact group on defense, which takes place on April 21.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the statement of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg before the meeting at the Ramstein air base.
"Allied countries provided (aircraft, - ed.). Poland handed over MiG-29s. There is an ongoing discussion about different types of aircraft, but I will leave it to the participants of today's meeting," he said.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal recently held talks with U.S. Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, during which he called for the start of deliveries of Western F-16 fighters to Ukraine.
