Zelen-sky after tanks began to ask the West for F-16, Rafale and Long-Range Missiles

1. In a conversation with NATO head Stoltenberg, he said that the F-16 is just what Kyiv needs. The White House declined to comment on this. The administration official only said that Ukraine cannot be blamed for wanting more and more weapons. The fact that the supply of aircraft is not being considered was announced in London - this was explained by fears of escalation. At the same time, the Kingdom offered to share its equipment with other countries, for example, Poland.

*2. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday thanked Western allies for their decisions on the delivery of battle tanks to Ukraine and called on NATO countries to "unlock" the supply of long-range missiles and military aircraft to Kiev.*

"Today I spoke with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. We have to unlock the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine, it is important for us to expand our cooperation in artillery, we have to achieve the supply of aircraft to Ukraine," Zelenskyy said, as quoted on the government website.

*3. F-16 fighter jets, if supplied by the Netherlands to Kiev, will not reach the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), but will be downed before approaching the so-called grey zone and thoroughly studied, a source in the DPR law enforcement agencies told TASS on Thursday.*

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said on Wednesday that unnamed ‘European colleagues’ were working on the issue of delivering US-made F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. The issue of deliveries was earlier raised during debates in the parliament of the Netherlands. Later, the country’s prime minister Mark Rutte said that this issue was out of question at the moment, but added that nothing is ruled out.

*4. Florian Philippot, leader of France’s The Patriots political party and former European Parliament member, has called Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky a ‘madman’ after he asked long-range missiles and warplanes from the West.*

"Now, Zelensky is demanding fighter jets and long-range missiles from the West. How long are we going to follow this madman? Until a third world war?!" he wrote on his Twitter account on Thursday.

The French politician earlier slammed tank supplies to Ukraine as "the shortest path to a third world war."
