Ukraine displays F-16 fighter jets

Kyiv, August 4
Ukraine’s newly arrived F-16 fighter jets were put on display on Sunday by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who said the planes will boost the country’s war effort against Russia.
“These jets are in our sky and today you see them,” said Zelenskyy, standing in front of two of the fighter jets as two others flew overhead in close formation. “It’s good that they are here and that we can put them to use.” Ukraine is also trying to get neighbouring countries to help defend it against Russian missiles, Zelenskyy said.
Two American-made F-16 jets, sporting Ukraine’s trident insignia on their tails and draped in camouflage netting, were a dramatic background for Zelenskyy’s address to Armed Forces Day. — AP
