"NATO Grants Ukraine Right to Deploy F-16s for Strikes on Russian Military Targets"

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that it is up to each ally to decide whether to deliver F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, but emphasized Ukraine's right to self-defense, including striking legitimate Russian military targets outside Ukraine. Stoltenberg urged NATO and its allies to support Ukraine, highlighting the need for more military aid to prevent further Russian gains. While the timeline for deploying F-16s remains uncertain, he stressed the importance of well-trained pilots and support personnel.
