According to him, it is necessary to prepare landing strips and storage facilities, adapting them to take into account the risk of attacks by the Russian army.
He admitted that this is not an easy process, especially considering the daily attacks.
In late January, Ignat said Ukraine still could not accept F-16 fighters, even if they were transferred from European countries, due to a lack of infrastructure and trained pilots.
Moscow stated that the supply of F-16 fighters to kyiv would not have any impact on the course of the special military operation.
Earlier, the Russian military launched a missile attack on the Ukrainian Armed Forces airfield in Ivano-Frankovsk, where the first American F-16 fighters were expected to arrive.
