KIEV, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday confirmed that long-awaited F-16 fighter jets have arrived in Ukraine.

"F-16s in Ukraine. We ensured this," Zelensky said in a post on Telegram.

The Ukrainian pilots have already started using the F-16 aircraft, he said, not specifying how many jets were supplied to Ukraine.

Zelensky thanked Denmark, the Netherlands, the United States and Ukraine's other partners for accepting Kiev's request for F-16s.

Western media reported that Ukraine received the first 10 F-16 fighter jets on the last day of July.
