    Greece to train Ukrainian F-16 pilots, Zelenskiy says

    (Reuters) - Greece will take part in training of Ukrainian air force pilots for F-16 jets, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday.

    Denmark and the Netherlands on Sunday announced they would supply the first F-16s to Ukraine.

    "Today, we have the important result for aviation coalition. Greece will participate in training of our pilots for F-16. I am grateful for this proposal," Zelenskiy said during joint press-conference with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Athens.

    He did not provide details of the training programme. Officials from a coalition of 11 nations have said F-16 training will take place in Denmark and Romania.

    Earlier on Monday Zelenskiy told a crowd in Denmark that promised deliveries of F-16 had made him confident Ukraine could end Russia's invasion.
