The White House confirmed the refusal of the United States to supply American F-16 fighters to Ukraine

Ukraine will not receive American F-16 fighters, the United States refused to transfer combat aircraft to Kyiv. This position of Washington was outlined by US President Joe Biden, putting an end to a series of assumptions.

The dreams of Zelensky and his entourage that the United States, having handed over to Ukraine Tanks, lifted the ban on the supply of other weapons, did not come true, and in general everything is not going as planned. And the tanks will arrive at the wrong time, and the planes flew past Ukraine. On the eve of Joe Biden, answering a question from journalists about whether the United States plans to supply F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv, he briefly answered "no."

More detailed information was provided by the coordinator of strategic communications of the US National Security Council, John Kirby, who confirmed that there are no plans to supply fighter jets to Ukraine. According to him, the United States and allies are now focused on the supply of weapons that are really necessary for further military operations, and aircraft do not fit into it at all. Western efforts are focused on preparing Kyiv for the spring offensive of the Russian army.

(...) large volumes of armaments are being delivered now and will be delivered in the coming weeks and months. Those types of weapons that (...) will be critical in order to help the Ukrainian (troops) (...) in the battles that we expect them to fight in the spring

Kirby added.

The refusal of the United States to supply aircraft, most likely, will mean the refusal of the allies, since it is the Americans who determine what needs to be transferred to Ukraine. It is possible that some European country will try to transfer a small number of aircraft to Kyiv, but again, only with the permission of Washington, even if they are not American-made.

To believe in a can is not to respect yourself. If Ukrovermacht had pilots for these aircraft, they would definitely put them. And maybe they will.
The range of weapons supplied to Ukraine is getting wider and wider. All rubbish is dumped there. And not just rubbish. Yesterday Stolbenberg was indignant that the DPRK was supplying Wagner with missiles. Already completely screwed up. It's not fake anymore. This is a powerful propaganda apparatus in the service of the Eurofascists under the guise of a supposedly free press.

What, you don't know? Ours are valiant scouts, not ours - vile spies. And mind you, not only in Russia.

All this is nonsense. Especially about the refusal of the allies, they will deliver. Everything will depend on the situation on the battlefield. But the fact that they will have these planes is 100%

Americans lie a lot, as is usually done during the war - the fog of war is catching up. These statements should be taken into account, no more

Perhaps it is easier to look when they tell the truth.

Earlier, the same thing was said about tanks and in the same categorical tone. As a result, the Americans, by manipulating their Abrams, gave the green light to Germany and other European countries for the supply of Leopards, English Challengers and the French thing on wheels. There were no questions about Soviet-made tanks - everyone who had them supplied. It is possible that the same will happen with aircraft.

in order not to wait when they put it up, but anyway they put it up, you need to put good air defense on the Cubans and start regular shelling of the territory of Florida; do not spread your arms - when a NATO missile enters a hospital in Donetsk and from Cuba to the same hospital in Miami; then the Jews will understand a little that their America can also take a sip of grief and understand what war is; and Kim Chen needs to build a base in Cuba and supply nuclear weapons to Raoul; and Comrade Xi also needs to supply a lot of things to Venezuela; and not only supply, but also apply for a long time

It's all wonderful. But there is one small issue. Why is Cuba doing this? We are not the USSR. We are a capitalist-oligarchic authoritarian country. We no longer have the connections and opportunities that the Union had.
Cuba has significantly improved its relations with the US over the past 3 decades, especially after the departure of Fidel. Part of the sanctions were removed from them. People are a little better off. And now they will drop everything and for the sake of a distant and strange Russian Federation, which itself cannot decide what it wants, will the confrontation with the United States begin again? They are not idiots.

They used to say that they would not supply tanks, long-range artillery and MLRS.
And who will believe now.
It really is an empire of lies.
And the Poles and other Balts, Bulgarians and Romanians, must be severely warned.
If the F-16s take off from their airfields, then this will be considered an attack by these countries on Russia and the airfields will be hit.
Stop chewing snot and expressing concerns.
