Prime Minister Sunak and Prime Minister Rutte have agreed that they will work to build an international coalition to provide Ukraine with air combat capabilities, providing support in everything from training [пілотів] to the purchase of F-16 fighter jets, the statement said.
They added that the British Prime Minister reaffirmed his belief that Ukraine’s rightful place in NATO, and the leaders agreed on the importance of long-term allied security assistance to Ukraine to ensure they can deter future attacks.

The leaders agreed on the need to continue to support Ukraine at this turning point, including because of sanctions against Russia.
