As per the report, Zelenskyy met his European allies where he was enthusiastically received but did not secure public promises of the fighter jets he sought. 

"London, Paris, Brussels - everywhere I spoke these past few days about how to strengthen our soldiers. There are very important understandings and we received good signals," he said in his nightly video address. "This concerns long-range missiles and tanks and the next level of our cooperation - fighter aircraft."
