They made some gains in the North west, looks like they are going to connect those two pockets and then move to Kiev.
I don't know how viable it really is to give the fighters or anything else complex like that. It takes a long time to train pilots and the war might be over by then. I don't know how effective it would be anyway, even if they have a safe airfield to operate from as soon as the handful of fighters tried actually fighting they would be annihilated by swarms of Russian fighters. I think SAMs might have more use for air defence, though they still require a lot of training so still have that issue.
Giving Ukraine fighters just seem like an expensive way to hand the Russians the latest wrecked western technology to take apart and reverse engineer. If the war even lasts long enough to field them.
