The Command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the information that Ukraine had received new aircraft from partners.
"With the US Government assistance, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine received spare parts and components for the aircraft fleet restoration and repair, which will allow it to put in service more equipment," - said a statement from the Command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces.
The day before, the Pentagon said that Ukraine had received planes and spare parts for them in order to increase the number of its own navy to defend against russian military aggression. "Ukrainians have received additional ships and parts," said John Kirby, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense. However, he did not specify which countries or types of aircraft. Kirby added that under a similar scheme, other countries also helped Kyiv with tanks.
