/tass/. Ukraine may receive F-16 fighters by the autumn, the first planes may be transferred to the Netherlands. This was reported on Tuesday night by the newspaper Politico.

"I think so. Why not?" - the publication quotes the words of a source in the Ministry of Defense of one of the European countries. The interlocutor answered the question whether Kiev could receive these fighters by the autumn.

As the newspaper notes, so far none of the European states is ready to start supplying F-16 to Ukraine. But the adviser to the Ukrainian Defense Minister, Yuriy Sak, claims that "the Netherlands can become the first country" to do this.

On May 21, US President Joe Biden announced at a press conference following the Group of Seven summit in Hiroshima that the West would begin training Ukrainian pilots in the skills of controlling fourth-generation fighter jets, including the F-16. At the same time, Assistant to the US President for National Security Jake Sullivan said that Washington will discuss with like-minded people in the coming months which states will transfer F-16 aircraft to Kiev.
