Ukraine’s newly arrived F-16 fighter jets were put on display on Sunday by President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said the planes will boost the country’s war effort against Russia.

“These jets are in our sky and today you see them,” said Mr Zelensky, standing in front of two of the fighter jets as two others flew overhead in close formation.
