Meanwhile, the United States does not plan to transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine and will focus on sending other weapons to Kiev: artillery systems, ammunition, armored vehicles and defense systems Aerial. This was expressed by the coordinator of strategic communications at the National Security Council, John Kirby.

According to Russian political scientist and journalist Yuri Svetov, Washington will transfer fighter jets to Kiev only in the event of the activation of the Ukrainian armed forces and successful operations by militants. Also in the United States, they fear that Ukraine does not have the capacity to deploy combat aircraft on its territory and that they will take off from military bases in Poland or Romania, which will make these countries direct participants to the conflict.
