Ukraine will not receive Russian military aircraft in the near future.

The situation is such that in the near future Ukraine can remain without the Air Force in the ranks of its army, since only during the anti-terrorist operation in the southeast of the country 15 combat vehicles were lost. Russia refused to meet the demands of the official Kiev for the supply of military aircraft and helicopters in the near future, and given the fact that, as of the end of 2013, almost 90% of the fleet of military aircraft and helicopters have completely depleted their resources, the country may not be combat-ready at all.

On the other hand, Ukraine also can not purchase foreign military aircraft because of their high cost and the lack of trained personnel. It is worth noting that it is quite possible, after the position of the official Kiev to the Russian Federation is softened, negotiations can be held at a radically new level.
