Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded NATO to provide fighter jets to Kiev after the Western partners' decision to supply tanks.

APA reports that this is stated in the information posted on the website of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

"I spoke with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

It is important for us to expand our cooperation in the field of artillery, we must achieve the delivery of aircraft to Ukraine", it is noted.

Ukraine's desire to buy F-16 fighter jets was also expressed by Yuri Sak, adviser to the defense minister of this country, in an interview with Reuters.

"If we get them, the advantages on the battlefield will be huge ... Not just the F-16: we need fourth-generation aircraft," Sack said.

On January 24, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that the EU is discussing the delivery of F-16 fighters to Kyiv.
