Partners of Ukraine provided Kiev an additional batch of military aircraft and spare parts for the repair of the aircraft available to the country, which were damaged or failed. This was announced on Tuesday by the official representative of the US Department of Defense John Kirby.
“Ukrainian military received additional aircraft and aviation spare parts, which will help them raise more aircraft in the air,” said Kirby, noting that the United States was not among the countries granted Kiev to the means of military aviation reports Reuters.
Kirby did not specify which countries were provided by Kiev aircraft, but recognized the fact of new supplies, adding that Ukraine now has more combat-ready fighters than two weeks ago. “We certainly helped with the transit of some parts, which helped satisfy their needs for airplanes, but we did not transport the entire planes,” he said.
