Thibaut Courtois decides not to play for Belgium under coach Domenico Tedesco
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has decided that he will not play for the Belgium national team under the current coach Domenico Tedesco.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said his country may receive F-16 fighter jets in the first half of 2024.
“Under the optimistic scenario, I think, it will be the first half of next year,” Kuleba said on Thursday.
Kuleba further said that the F-16 jets will be delivered to Ukraine after Ukrainian pilots complete the training courses and appropriate infrastructure is arranged, Xinhua news agency reported, citing the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

Last week, Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, said that Ukrainian pilots, currently undergoing simulator training, will start flights with instructors on real F-16 jets in several weeks.
The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Belgium have pledged to transfer F-16 jets to Ukraine to help the country upgrade its combat aircraft fleet amid the conflict with Russia.
