US and G-7 allies to provide F-16 fighter jets and training to Ukraine.

President Joe Biden has endorsed joint allied training programs for Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets, which will take place in Europe and require months to complete. The US hopes to begin the training in the coming weeks, and the coalition of countries participating in the effort will decide when to provide jets, how many, and who will provide them. Ukraine is seeking the jets as it presses on with its biggest advance for months against invading Russian troops before a planned counteroffensive.
