NDTV reported that Josep Borrell, EU’s foreign policy chief, said, “We're going to provide even fighting jets. We're not talking about just ammunition. We are providing more important arms to go to a war.” Borrell added that at the request of the Ukrainian foreign ministry, they’re providing fighter jets that Ukraine’s army “is able to operate”.
