US and Allies to Train Ukrainian Pilots on F-16 Fighter Jets

The US will support a joint international effort to train Ukrainian pilots on modern fighter aircraft, including F-16s, at a site in Europe, which could pave the way to eventually send advanced Western fighter jets to Ukraine. Discussions are ongoing about how and when that would happen. The move sends "a powerful signal of how the United States and our allies and partners are fully united in ensuring Ukraine remains sovereign, independent, and secure with the ability to defend against and deter future attacks."
