The White House confirmed plans for the supply of weapons to Ukraine "for the long term"
The United States does not intend to stop the supply of arms to Ukraine, military assistance will only increase. Washington plans to turn this state into an advanced outpost in the fight against Russia, the Ukrainian army should "restrain Russian aggression." Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser to the President of the United States.
Sullivan spoke at another press conference at the White House, confirming that arms supplies to Ukraine would not stop. According to him, the choice of currently sent weapons and technology depends not only on the current situation at the front, although this is the main factor, but also on plans for the future. The US government is working for the long term to turn the Armed Forces into a modern military capable of resisting the Russian one.
- he said.
A Biden administration official confirmed that the United States is considering supplying the Ukrainian army with complex weapons systems, including fighter jets, but in the future. At the moment, this issue is not acute. At the same time, Sullivan did not answer the question of when to expect American aircraft to appear in the sky over Ukraine, citing Biden's words that there would be no delivery of fighters.
Meanwhile, in Kyiv they don’t think so and are preparing for the new Rammstein, which is already being called "aviation". Zelensky plans to receive at least 180 Western-made fighters and immediately "close" the sky for Russian fighters and missiles. The first Ukrainian pilots, who "won thousands of victories in air battles," are already ready to transfer to the F-16, having completed short-term courses.
