During his visit to Kyiv on Thursday, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre confirmed the country's plans to transfer a certain number of F-16 fighters.

"Norway supports Ukraine in its efforts to create a modern air defense system. This is important and necessary. We have already decided to train Ukrainian fighter pilots and announced in the summer that we will provide two Norwegian F-16 fighters for training," the Norwegian prime minister said at a press conference in Kyiv.

"We are planning to transfer Norwegian F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine and will provide further information on the transfer, quantity and delivery time in due course," he added.

According to the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, it may be five to ten aircraft.
