Ukranian president Volodymyr Zelensky has requested that western allies send fighter jets to aid their war against Russia (CNN). While the U.S. has chosen not to, some European countries, such as France and the Netherlands, have expressed openness to sending jets to Ukraine. 
This question will resolve based on whether a European country (excluding Russia and Ukraine) announces that it will provide fighter jets to Ukraine to support them in the war against Russia. Examples of fighter jets include the F-15, F-16, Saab Gripen, and Eurofighter Typhoon (New Atlas).
