Zelensky decided to launch a counteroffensive without waiting for the delivery of F-16s

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky posted on his Telegram channel a video of a long interview he gave to Finnish, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian journalists.

In particular, he answered a question about waiting for a decision on the supply of Western F-16 fighters.

Zelensky stressed that modern aviation would greatly help Kyiv in the counteroffensive.

“There is no more time to delay, so we will start before we have Western fighters,” the Ukrainian leader said in an interview with Scandinavian journalists.

He admitted that without F-16 fighters, the Armed Forces of Ukraine would lose more soldiers and that this would “slow down the processes.”
