Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has given clarifications on the request for western fighter jets.

"We would be especially interested in fighter jets from the US, UK, France and Germany," Tagesschau news agency quotes Kuleba.

"These countries have the highest production capacities and the largest aircraft fleets," he said.

These aircraft can be used to shoot down Russian missiles and are important for counteroffensives.

This year's security conference, which Kuleba is also expected to attend, begins in Munich on Friday, 17 February.

Previously, Oleksii Makeiev, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Germany, said that Ukraine is negotiating on fighter jets but not with Germany.
