The US administration did not answer the question about the possibility of transferring fighter aircraft to Ukraine

The United States has nothing to say yet about the delivery of fighter jets to the Ukrainian army, as well as the content of future military support packages, but Washington is in constant contact with Kyiv on issues related to comprehensive assistance. This was stated by the coordinator of strategic communications of the White House National Security Council, John Kirby.

In a commentary to CNN, Kirby noted that Ukrainian President Zelensky had previously stated his desire to receive fighter jets, but the US government could not say anything definite about future military aid packages, other than constantly stating to the Ukrainian side that they would meet their needs, for which everything possible is being done.



However, earlier the US Department of Defense Deputy Spokesperson Sabrina Singh said that the Pentagon does not rule out the possibility of supplying Ukraine with American F-16 fighters.

So far, the supply of such fighters is being discussed in the Netherlands, whose authorities admit the possibility of transferring to the Kyiv regime aircraft previously decommissioned from the kingdom's air force fleet. Slovakia also informed about the possibility of sending Soviet-made aircraft to Ukraine, which are in service with the country's air force.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stressed that the words of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that the alliance, despite the comprehensive military support of the Kyiv regime and the supply of weapons and military equipment to the Ukrainian army, is not a party to the Ukrainian conflict and does not take a direct part in it, which caused by the lack of supplies of military aviation and sending their military personnel, a manifestation of criminal hypocrisy.

    After the liberation of Vuhledar and Artemovsk, the US position will change and Ukraine will get everything it wants.

      Even now she receives almost everything that is required. Long-range missiles and fighters are not given to them only in the media. This issue has already been resolved.

      Alas, the short-sightedness of our high officials allows the United States to do what they want. How many times has the Supreme Commander been at the headquarters of the Defense Ministry? How many times has the Minister of Defense inspected troops not even in a war in the rear? And what are you waiting for?

        Nothing will change from the fact that a disguised official of the Ministry of Defense will come to the troops. Except as an additional crap at the receiving end. The parquet people have been lying and will continue to do so. "Girls" changed on top, or the beds are moved?

      There will be no F-16 before the beginning of summer.

        If they deliver, then most likely 52 blocks. In theory, modern Su-35S and Su-30SM should deal with them easily.

    In Ukraine, all the runways of military airfields, it seems, with concrete slabs, will such a wheel be able to withstand the joints of concrete slabs, especially when the aircraft is with a full combat load?

        There, the range from Romania to Donbas is almost equal to the combat radius, they don’t have enough fuel to fly back and forth, and no one will risk tankers over Ukraine.

          I also think that they will work from Ukrainian airfields.

    It looks like Stoltenberg said too much ... like if we don’t send soldiers and don’t give planes, then we are not participants in the conflict. Either he did not agree or started talking, which is no longer important. The word is not a sparrow, now let him tell about it, when he goes to the non-flying batch of the first NATO aircraft.

    SEOUL, Jan 27 – RIA Novosti. It is the United States, which pumps weapons to Ukraine, stimulates the escalation of the conflict, the DPRK will always be on the side of the people and the army of Russia, which defends the "dignity and honor" of the state, its sovereignty and security, said sister Kim Jong Eun and the deputy head of the department of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea Kim Yo-jong, her statement was published by the Central News Agency of the DPRK (KCNA).
    "The United States, by pumping Ukraine with a large number of weapons, "distinguished" in stimulating the continuation of unstable world events, and recently made its anti-Russian position even clearer by officially announcing the supply (to Ukraine - ed.) of its main tanks," said Kim Yo-jong. noting that the United States is waging a "proxy war aimed at destroying the Russian Federation" in order to achieve hegemony.
    She noted that it is the United States that is the "main culprit" of the situation, posing a threat to the strategic security of the Russian Federation, and that "without the United States, the world will be brighter, safer and more peaceful."
    “Deeply concerned about the behavior of the United States, leading to an escalation of the war by supplying Ukraine with military equipment for ground attack, and strongly condemn this ... We will always be in the same trench together with the army and the people of Russia, which stood up to fight to protect the dignity and honor of the state, the sovereignty and security of the country," said Kim Yo-jong.

    That's who is a friend, and we still have not lifted the sanctions imposed together with the UN. DPRK in
    openly offered us 100.000 bayonets.

      In the DPRK, socialism, good or bad, is not about that now. Will capitalist Russia accept help from a socialist state? The answer is obvious...

    lately, he’s not the only one who has been making a reservation, the German woman also froze too much, now right up to her resignation ...
