US President Joe Biden ruled out the possibility of supplying Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets. The media spread his statement, but suggest that the head of the White House simply could not have heard the question.
Thus, Voice of America journalist Yulia Yarmolenko asked Biden if Ukraine would be provided with F-16 fighter jets. The American leader answered “no”.
Biden might not have heard
However, then a video of this moment appeared. The footage shows that Biden got out of the helicopter, approached the press for a few minutes and did not particularly elaborate on his answer.
There was noise from journalists around, so the politician really could simply not have heard the question.
The United States did not rule out the supply of fighters
Especially earlier, the White House noted that they did not rule out any supply of weapons to Ukraine, including the F-16. White House Deputy National Security Adviser John Finer said that the United States would “very carefully” discuss the idea of supplying fighters with Kyiv and its allies.
Politico wrote that the Pentagon already discussing sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine However, a final decision has not yet been made, although unnamed sources said that the US should not be against it.
Pay attention!Probably issues of transferring fighters to Ukraine can be discussed during the next meeting in the Ramstein format, which will be held on February 14
