The Pentagon did not rule out the possible transfer of American F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine in the future. Deputy Spokesperson of the US Ministry of Defense Sabrina Singh informed about this at the briefing.
According to her, Washington has never drawn any line in terms of aid to Ukraine.
"You know, we're not going to take anything off the table here. We're currently training the Ukrainians on the Patriot. We've seen how they've made incredible use of some of the air capabilities provided not only by us, but also by other partners," Singh said.
She noted that she has no intention of preempting any aid packages before US President Joe Biden and Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin officially announce it.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov published a reference video about F-16 fighter jets and wrote: Soon in the sky of Ukraine.
We will remind you that on January 20, 2023, the Netherlands announced that they are ready to consider supplying Ukraine with F-16s if they receive a request.
US Ambassador to the OSCE Carpenter said that he expects Washington to support the idea of allies to provide Ukraine with F-16s.
President Zelenskyі asked the partners at the next meeting in Ramstein to agree on the supply of these aircraft and long-range missiles.
