The president made this announcement in an interview with Sky News.

He mentioned that Ukraine currently has a limited number of F-16 fighters, but they are demonstrating high effectiveness in combating enemy cruise missiles.

"How are the F-16s performing today? Very well. Mostly, excellently. We have very few F-16s. What are they doing right now? They destroyed seven cruise missiles two nights ago. Seven missiles that were aimed at infrastructure, civilian infrastructure," Zelensky stated.
