TL;DR Summary

International pressure on Biden to provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets appears to be working as NATO allies form coalitions to get Ukraine the jets and trained pilots. Biden has reversed his previous stance on the issue, opening the door for Ukraine to add the 4th generation fighters to its depleted air force. The US will authorize the use of US-made F-16s in Ukraine, help train pilots, and possibly send fighter jets from its own stockpiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted enthusiastically, tweeting that "the historic decision" would "greatly enhance our army in the sky."
