What is known about the aircraft deliveries to Ukraine

Journalists asked Havryliuk whether, when he said "expected," he was referring to all the aircraft or just some of them.

"Practically, you named the list correctly, but I won’t provide details on when, what, or which," replied the Deputy Defense Minister.

When asked about the timing and quantity, he did not provide specifics.

"Let’s wait until you see them flying over Ukraine; that’s when you’ll understand," Havryliuk concluded.
