The Department of Defense confirmed that Ukraine has received fighter jets from an undisclosed U.S. ally amid the weekslong Russian invasion.

Ukrainian forces “right now have available to them more fixed-wing fighter aircraft than they did two weeks ago,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday. “Without getting into what other nations are providing, [Ukrainian forces] have received additional platforms and parts to be able to increase their fleet size.”
