Biden's decision to provide F-16 jets to Ukraine signals US support in ongoing conflict with Russia.
TL;DR Summary
US President Joe Biden has approved the training of Ukrainian pilots on US-made F-16 fighter jets, a move welcomed by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a "historic decision" that would "greatly enhance our army in the sky". The training will take place in Europe and will require months to complete. The US has been moving to arm Ukraine with more advanced weaponry, including HIMAR rocket launcher systems, Patriots air defence systems and Abrams tanks. The G7 leaders also rolled out a new wave of global sanctions on Moscow and promised "to stand together against Russia's illegal, unjustifiable and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine".
