Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday he was confident that Kyiv would receive supplies of F-16 fighter jets from the West to help repel Russia's full-scale invasion of his country.

"We will have the planes. I can't say for now how many — it's not a secret. I don't know this myself," he told a news conference at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Hiroshima, Japan.
