logistics chain, training of those who maintain it. you can t have several types of aircraft at the same time just wouldn t be feasible. 0ur part in any coalition would be training pilots. we heard the payments talk about the uk launching pilot training soon. but as what our contribution would be. we have different aircraft, and to help british typhoons in the ukraine as well would massively complicate the support for them. i think countries like poland would supply those, if the americans came back as well. we will leave it there. great to have your perspective so quickly after the events. thank you. a quick reminder, the ukrainian leader volodymyr zelensky has now left that meeting with the uk prime minister rishi sunak. these are some of the
president zelensky. his job is a tricky balance between thanking his european allies for the support given and trying to drum up and encourage more military aid. the nods we ve had from downing street is towards more military aid, both offensive and attack minded. defensive missiles and attack minded drones. and this relatively new topic of these fighter jets drones. and this relatively new topic of these fighterjets and a fighterjet coalition, and we will try and explore what that means. we have guests to pick through what this fighterjet have guests to pick through what this fighter jet coalition have guests to pick through what this fighterjet coalition would mean. first we will speak to our political correspondence. hugo, we will come to you shortly. let s get the uk angle. david, what do you make of those words spoken by rishi
sunak and zelensky before he left? it was interesting that both leaders at pains to show how good their relationship is, that started this morning when volodymyr zelensky tweeted he was going on the surprise visit to see his friend. when he landed, they embraced and i think we saw in that interview a close relationship between the two of them, and president zelensky at pains to continue to say thank you for the support the uk government has given his country, and that includes the extra missiles and attack drones that were announced today. what president zelensky seems today. what president zelensky seems to be bringing up diplomatically is his desire, this was something he brought up when he posited in fabry, to get fighterjets. he sees it as a pivotal part of ukraine s defence. i m very rishi sunak was very
