U.S. and G-7 allies to provide F-16 fighter jets for Ukraine's defense.

The US and its allies plan to provide F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine as part of a long-term effort to strengthen the country's security, according to a senior Biden administration official. The timing and source of the fighter jets remain unclear, but the US and its allies will decide in the coming months. President Biden informed G-7 leaders that the US will support efforts to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16s. The joint effort to train Ukrainian pilots on the jets could start in the coming weeks and will take place outside Ukraine at sites in Europe.
