The US will not give Ukraine F-16 fighter jets to fight against Russia. US President Joe Biden said this in Washington. Biden also said he would visit Ukraine's neighbor Poland, which is at war with Russia.
Biden was asked by reporters at the White House on Monday whether his administration would provide F-16 fighter jets as an aid to Ukraine. In response, Biden said, "No." Biden also said I will visit Poland. Although it is not certain when this visit will take place; it will.
Western allies, including the United States, have been providing financial and arms support to Ukraine since the start of the war in February. But the country's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, wanted heavy weapons, and tanks. After a long discussion, some countries including the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Canada have announced to give advanced tanks to Ukraine.
After that, Ukraine asked Western allies, including the United States, for warplanes. In particular, the country wants advanced F-16 fighter jets from Washington. There is a heated discussion about it.
Meanwhile, Biden announced that his administration would not provide F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said his country was not considering giving fighter jets to Kyiv. He said in an interview, "I have said before, there was no discussion with the allies about giving warplanes to Ukraine, I am still saying it."
