Earlier the same day, the European Union's chief diplomat Josep Borrell said several countries, including Poland, had started training Ukrainian pilots to use U.S.-built F-16 jets.

"For a long time, unfortunately, I've had to refute (information) that 'pilots study in the USA, Europe,'" Ihnat said on national television. "There is no need to give any extra hope."
