Kiev has repeatedly appealed to its Western allies to hand over fighter jets, in particular the F-16MOSCOW, May 24.

/tass/. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that Kiev has begun work on a comprehensive concept for the development of aviation, "taking into account the transition to new types of aircraft."

"We have started working on a comprehensive concept for the development of our aviation, taking into account the transition to new types of aircraft. A new organizational structure, training of pilots and personnel, the necessary infrastructure, logistics, etc.," he wrote on Wednesday in his Telegram channel following the meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-chief.

Kiev has repeatedly appealed to its Western allies to hand over fighter jets, in particular the F-16. On May 21, US President Joe Biden announced at a press conference following the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Hiroshima that the West would begin training Ukrainian pilots in the skills of controlling fourth-generation fighters, including the F-16. At the same time, the assistant to the American leader for national security, Jake Sullivan, said that Washington will discuss with like-minded people in the coming months which states will transfer such aircraft to Kiev. At the same time, the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, admitted on May 20 that the delivery of Western fighters to Kiev could not be carried out quickly.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko, commenting on the intentions to supply Kiev with the F-16, said that Western countries continue to follow the path of escalation in the Ukrainian conflict, but Russia will take this into account in its plans.
