Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday confirmed that long-awaited F-16 fighter jets have arrived in Ukraine.
"F-16s in Ukraine. We ensured this," Zelensky said in a post on Telegram.
The Ukrainian pilots have already started using the F-16 aircraft, he said, not specifying how many jets were supplied to Ukraine.
Zelensky thanked Denmark, the Netherlands, the United States and Ukraine's other partners for accepting Kiev's request for F-16s.
Western media reported that Ukraine received the first 10 F-16 fighter jets on the last day of July.
