On the F-16s, we are on schedule, which means that later this year they will be in Ukrainian skies, but there is still a lot to do and one of the things we agreed on today is to speed up the process in the sense that we need to make sure that there are no obstacles that could cause delays. We also discussed the possibilities of how to accelerate this process
