“That's not an issue for us,” Reuters quoted a defense ministry spokesman as saying at a regular government press conference in Berlin. “There is no debate about that at the moment,” added a foreign ministry spokesman.
According to Reuters, it is not clear how many countries are willing to provide modern fighter jets to Ukraine, nor when they might do so.
In the past few days, the EU countries have promised the supply of tanks, the parties of fighters are still hesitating, although Kyiv has repeatedly asked for them. On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi did so for the last time directly in Brussels, where, among other things, he visited the EU summit. Ukraine needs cannons, modern tanks, fighter jets, long-range missiles and ammunition, Zelenskyy repeated in anticipation of a new major Russian offensive.
