< p _ngcontent-sc190="" class="news-annotation">Joe Biden said during a conversation with reporters that the US will not transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. Alexei Reznikov responded to the US leader's statement.
At present, Reznikov is in Paris. In particular, the Minister of Defense arrived in the French capital to discuss the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
Reznikov said that each aid to Ukraine went through 5 stages:
- “No” ;
- “Let's discuss and explore options”;
- “Preparing the crew”;
- “Arrival”.
This was the case with HIMARS, with the same Bradleys. Remember the story with the German Leopards, at first it was also “No”, and now we have a tank coalition. Therefore, I believe in the next “Aircraft Coalition,” Reznikov said.
The Minister of Defense added that this requires a leader. Reznikov noted that this is why he arrived in Paris.
Biden will have a conversation with Zelensky
Biden said that he will soon have a conversation with Vladimir Zelensky. The topic will be Ukraine's requests for weapons. The date of the conversation, the US President has not yet made public.
The fact that the United States will not provide Ukraine with fighter jets, Biden said during a conversation with reporters.
Pay attention! Dmitry Kuleba – Head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry – said that work is currently underway to unblock the transfer of fighter jets and long-range missiles to Ukraine.
