"We confirmed our agreement ... on France's support for Ukraine's air defense capabilities. We are ready to create framework conditions for the start of training Ukrainian pilots of combat aircraft," Zelensky said.

The leaders instructed the heads of the defense ministries of both countries to design a decision on the volume and mechanism for training military pilots, which will be adopted at the next meeting in the Ramstein format.

Earlier, The Guardian newspaper reported that Zelensky and Sunak discussed the creation of a "fighter coalition" for the Ukrainian army.

John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the National Security Council, said that the United States still does not intend to supply Ukraine with ATACMS tactical missiles.
