    Ukraine used Western-supplied F-16 jets to down Russian drones, Zelenskyy says

    Ukraine used Western-supplied F-16 fighter jets to down Russian drones and missiles during recent attacks, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.

    The Ukrainian president announced earlier this month that Kyiv had received the first batch of jets promised by Western countries.

    Speaking at a news conference today, Mr Zelenskyy confirmed the use of F-16s and urged Ukraine's allies to send more.

    "Nobody talked about it, but we destroyed already, in this huge attack of Russians, we destroyed already some missiles and drones using F-16," he said.

    "I will not share how many, but we did it thanks to partners who gave us F-16, provided to us. But again it's not enough, we have a small number of F-16."
