The US administration has not worked out the issue of deliveries of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, and President Joe Biden’s words that there will be none should not be interpreted as a permanent given, media reports citing an unnamed official.
⠀
Biden previously answered “no” to a question from journalists whether F-16s would be delivered to the Ukrainian military.
⠀
“However, a U.S. official … said that “there were no serious high-level discussions about the F-16.” In other words, it does not appear that Biden’s statement is the result of a study of the issue and is rather the current position of the highest decision-making authority,” it is said in the publication.
⠀
The media previously reported that certain representatives of the US administration are lobbying for the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to the Ukrainian military.
⠀
The United States is constantly expanding and complicating the range of weapons supplied to Ukraine, reaching modern armored vehicles, strike systems and air defense systems of Western production.
