About half of the F-16 fighter jets have been in Europe for repairs and maintenance for a long time, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"According to him, the return of some aircraft is being delayed to such an extent that Ukraine is losing precious time when these fighters are most needed to defend its airspace," the Financial Times quoted Zelenskyy as saying.
