Today, August 25, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held an extended meeting to review the outcomes of his visits to Europe.

"Today, I held a meeting to review the outcomes of the visits. It was a lengthy meeting, focusing on coordination, especially regarding aircraft. We are preparing new defense packages with the specific content our soldiers need, as they told me when I visited the frontlines," the statement reads.

The president emphasizes that all agreements obtained from Ukrainian partners have already begun to be implemented.

"First and foremost, the F-16 aircraft. The tasks are clear: international allies will maximize their training missions, and the military will expedite the preparation of infrastructure, the dispatch of pilots, and engineers, ensuring Ukraine's readiness," the president said.
