There is everything for a counter-offensive: Baiden did not decide whether the F-16 fighter will be transferred to the Armed Forces

According to the White House Advisor Jake Sullivan, the planes will not be a critical offensive force. Thanks to military assistance packages, Ukraine will be able to protect itself from the Russian Federation, he is sure. The United States is ready to support the process of training in the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use F-16 fighter jets, but it is unclear whether these planes are sent.

The White House Advisor Jake Sullivan in the transfer of CNN "State of the Union" ("Union Regulations") said this on May 21. US President Joe Biden has announced the support of the F-16 pilot training process during the G-7 summit in Japan. "Given the number of F-16 in the warehouses of European allies and money from Congress, there are many other priorities for systems that can be given. The US President has not yet made a final decision," Sullivan said.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has long been asking Western allies to send modern fighters, but the United States has repeatedly denied. Instead, Washington sent tanks, artillery and ammunition, Politico said. The reason for this, according to Sullivan, is that fighters were not critical for the expected counter -offensive of the Armed Forces. However, the conditions of fighting develop.

"The United States has mobilized exceptional efforts to give Ukraine all the necessary counter -offensive to Ukraine. Fourth-generation fighters, Western F-16 fighters, as the adviser emphasized, also have to do with war. Recall that on May 21, Zelensky promised to supply US F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. What countries and how many aircraft will be supplied, it did not specify. The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces spoke of the impossibility of postponing of fighter jets of this type.
