About a quarter of the amount of air defences it needs to fight off russian attacks. He said ukraine needed up to 130 of the western f 16 fighter jets. Dozens are due to arrive sometime this Yearfrom European donor countries and ukrainian pilots are currently being trained. Mr zelensky also said the military was still short of manpower and russia could increase its attacks in ukraines north east following its recent gains near the city of kharkiv.

For a large industrialfacility in the uk, thats something similar to what ive seen in the various businesses that ive looked at over the years.
