Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has noted that even after the long-awaited agreement by allies to send Ukraine F-16 fighters, Kyiv remains interested in other aircraft models.

Kuleba mentioned in an interview with the French Le Monde that Ukraine "will not limit its ambitions to obtaining F-16s."

"We are working with other countries that produce the latest generation of aircraft," the Foreign Minister stated.

He also emphasised the strategic advantages for France in terms of future investments from potentially supplying Ukraine with Rafale fighters.

During the visit of the Prime Minister of Finland to Kyiv, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy once again raised the issue of F-18 fighters, in service with the Finnish army. However, Helsinki is currently not prepared to consider sending its fighters.
