A group of Ukrainian pilots is undergoing training on F-16s in Romania.

This was announced by Ukraine's Defence Minister Rustem Umerov after a conversation with his Romanian counterpart, Angel Tîlvăr.

The two ministers discussed strengthening the protection of Ukrainian skies from Russian missiles and drones.

"Soon Ukraine will receive a new Patriot air defence system from our Romanian partners. There will also be more F-16s in the Ukrainian sky: a group of our pilots is already undergoing training in Romania," Umerov said.

The Defence Minister added that he plans to visit Romania.
