The first batch of F-16 fighter jets Ukraine received encompassed six planes provided by the Netherlands, The Times reported on July 31, citing an undisclosed source.

A year after the launch of the fighter jet coalition, Kyiv finally received “a small number” of its first U.S.-made fourth-generation jets, Bloomberg reported earlier the same day. Although Ukraine is yet to comment on the reports, their delivery was seemingly confirmed by Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis on X.

“F-16s in Ukraine. Another impossible thing turned out to be totally possible”, - the minister said.

Speaking on national television, Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak refused to confirm the claim, saying it is inappropriate to divulge sensitive information during wartime.
