Kuleba says Ukraine will be able to ensure control over its skies this year

He said this at a joint press conference with Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis in Kyiv on Saturday, January 27, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"Everything is realistic, and this is what the war taught us. If we get the F-16, if we have our own combat and reconnaissance drones - this is the importance of our cooperation with Lithuania - if we have EW and missiles, we will control our skies. All this is achievable," Kuleba said.

He added that all these solutions were currently being implemented, and "there is nothing unprecedented here, we just need to get all these elements in sufficient quantity and at the right time."

"This is exactly what we are working on, and that is why the European Peace Facility is very important. It will create additional opportunities and means to provide these elements for Ukraine," Kuleba said.

Earlier, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Kuleba said that Kyiv's priority for 2024 was to gain control over the Ukrainian skies.
