The RAF added that the training of the Ukrainian military is “part of the UK contribution to the Air Capability Coalition to bolster Ukraine’s air capabilities.”

Earlier, on February 22, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that Ukraine would have the right to attack military targets in Russia with F-16 fighter jets.
